A Movie app using Flutter
Designed and built a responsive movie app using Flutter, integrating The Movie DB API and Firebase for backend data storage. Included features like personalized watchlists, local persistence, and intuitive UI design based on HCI principles. Implemented robust error handling and maintained version control throughout development, with a critical evaluation of design decisions.
Unity Project - Created a communication AR application for blind and deaf people.
Developed an augmented reality mobile application to support communication for blind and deaf individuals. Built using Unity with C#, the app focused on accessibility and inclusion. Worked collaboratively in an Agile team, contributing to both design and development, and delivered a functional prototype tailored for diverse user needs.
Advanced Software Modelling and Simulation Project (Java)
Developed a console-based, multithreaded Java simulation to model rush-hour traffic flow through a configurable road network with traffic-light–controlled intersections, custom thread-safe buffers, and real-time reporting
Tasty BYTES Mobile App – UX Design Project
Designed a mobile food-ordering app prototype for UCLan students and staff, focused on improving lunchtime efficiency. Created detailed user personas, low-fidelity wireframes, and a high-fidelity interactive prototype using Figma. The design addressed core UX requirements such as vendor listings based on real-time availability, filtered food menus, order tracking, and sustainable packaging representation. Justified design choices through annotations and user-centered design principles, supported by relevant UX research and design guidelines.
