Web - Using html/css/jquery to build a personal portfolio site: Quixo

I attempted to design the site 'Mobile-first' by using only a central column for content and having resizable elements, as well as having as small a footprint as possible, both in data-overhead and the aesthetic so as to have an interesting, modern design that didn't distract from the content of the site or take long to load.

I used Lokesh Dhakar's Lightbox jquery script and css, and followed Marius Craciunoiu's general implementation of a responsive navigation menu but otherwise, the site was engineered from scratch in code using trial and error. I was able to teach myself some fundamentals of jquery and improve my workflow with html and css.

C# and WPF - A desktop application for MySQL database reading

Second year programming assignment to create a desktop app for university staff to evaluate faculty publishing performance levels and details.

The app was built based on a Visual Studio WPF application template. It accessed an online MySQL database using C# MySQL data packages, then created Researcher objects based on the retrieved data, and LINQ statements were used to sort and filter some data.

The app was built by a team of two students using agile organisational methods and some partner-coding time, and SVN code repo was used to maintain version control. The MVC (Model View Controller) paradigm was used to design the software.
