Side projects

WFM-Alerter

Open source (GNU v3.0)

Status:

Complete

  • This project began while some friends and I were playing Warframe. I noticed the unofficial market lacked a way to notify players when desired in-game items became available at a specific price.
  • The solution runs as a single Azure Function app, using an embedded SQLite database to track user-created alerts. Azure Mail services handle player notifications.
  • Source code is available on GitHub.
  • Project is complete but, have plans for adding a web interface to allow users to create alerts more easily.
Mobile App

Closed source project

Status:

In development

  • I started the project while working at Danfoss as a consultant, aiming to create a smartphone-based flex time tracker to monitor my working hours.
  • Developed using .NET MAUI, which simplifies cross-platform deployment to Windows and iOS.
  • Planning to publish the app on Android and iOS in the future.
Business Website

Closed source project

Status:

Discontinued

  • The owner needed a website for a newly started business and wanted to be able to post blogs, reviews, and offers. The site was integrated with Microsoft Entra ID to allow for login and future Azure integration.
  • Developed using ASP.NET and using an independent SQL database hosted in Azure.
  • Project discontinued due to the owner's loss of interest.
