SIMULATED SCENARIO

SAFE TO SPEND / DAY$42$380 remains after protected costs

This demonstration uses simulated values and simplified logic. It is not financial advice and does not connect to a bank.

SCROLL TO INSPECT

CASE 02

BudgetBrain

Featured full-stack project

A full-stack financial behaviour and payday-planning application that turns simulated balances, income and protected costs into safe-to-spend guidance and money-pressure analysis.

  • Deterministic safe-to-spend, protected-money and recovery-gap calculations
  • JWT authentication, bcrypt password hashing and Zod validation
  • CSV transaction import, affordability checks and recovery scenarios

Simulated financial scenarios; no real bank integration.

CASE 03

DirectSend

Peer-to-peer CLI

A TypeScript and Node.js command-line tool that streams files directly between peers over WebRTC DataChannels while a small WebSocket server relays connection metadata.

  • Streaming transfers with progress reporting and bounded backpressure
  • SHA-256 integrity verification and local filename sanitisation
  • Token-based rooms with expiry, duplicate-room and peer-limit handling

No identity management, transfer resumption or bundled TURN credentials.

CASE 04

FleetWise

First place - Innovate for Impact

An AI-assisted fleet-management prototype created for HealthWISE during NGM Group's two-day Innovate for Impact Hackathon on 12-13 May 2026.

  • Collaborated within a six-person team under a fixed event deadline
  • Centralised fragmented vehicle booking and record-keeping workflows
  • Helped shape and present a practical solution for a regional not-for-profit

CASE 05

UniX Course Enrolment System

University project

A server-rendered Java course-enrolment system covering authentication, semester selection and enrolment workflows with clear server-side validation.

  • MVC and DAO structure with connection pooling
  • Prepared statements and bcrypt password hashing
  • Prerequisite, capacity and study-load business rules
