Website

CreepyCreams Web3 Token Dashboard

Website — https://dashboard.creepycreams.com

The CreepyCreams $SCOOP Dashboard allows users to connect their Web3 wallet (such as MetaMask) to view and spend their $SCOOP token on discounts.

CreamCraft Store

Website — https://store.creamcraft.net

The CreamCraft Store is an online shop that takes Credit Card payments to purchase in-game items. The whole front and backend was built from the ground up using Express for the RESTful API, and React (Next.js) for the frontend. The service lists products, handles payments via Stripe, and issues the player with what they purchased. I also implemented autonomous email delivery for; Payment Success, Payment Failure, Sales, and other transactional emails.

CreepyCreams NFT / Web3 Project

Website — https://creepycreams.com

CreepyCreams is a large NFT project, with over 10,000 NFT's in the Alpha Wave and Mecha Melter collections.

The server works based on many game instances working together to handle player-base, a number of games, and cross-server syncing & compatibility that I created to allows this.

Vencode Ltd

Website — https://vencode.io

Vencode is a simple yet powerful cloud video transcoder for developers. Backed by an API and easy SDK's. Both the beautiful (if I do say so myself) landing website and main application were programmed by myself from scratch using Next.js (React). The application uses AWS serverless functions on Lambda, ECS Fargate Tasks, S3, and API Gateway. Redis and MongoDB is also in our tech stack.

File Sharing App

This website/application was made to allow users to easily share files with groups of people, with permission access to read and write to groups. Users were able to add contacts, all of which were sent and received in real-time using a secure websocket connection, in addition to a RESTful API.

Web Application (private)

"Vault of Void" Statistic Admin Panel

Just like my other websites, this also uses a RESTful API written in Node.js using the Express framework. The API is used to authenticate the client and POST data to the server, and into the database. It also handles admin user authentication to access the panel, and retrieve the data then displaying it in a paginated table. The front-end was written using the Vue.js framework, with Bulma as the CSS framework.

This website was small, but the start of a much bigger project. This client wanted users to to be able to create an account early, in turn signing up for their newsletter.
