BudgetBrain

Featured full-stack project

A payday-planning app that answers a simple question: how much can I spend after rent, bills and essentials? The backend does the maths; AI helps explain the result.

  • React 18
  • Vite
  • Node.js
  • Express
  • PostgreSQL
  • Prisma
  • Vitest
  • Supertest
GitHub
Engineering notes
  • 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
  • Groq AI explains backend results without calculating financial truth

Simulated financial scenarios; no real bank integration.

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

DirectSend

Peer-to-peer CLI

Send a file between two computers with a short transfer token. WebRTC carries the file directly between peers; a small WebSocket server handles the connection setup.

  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • WebRTC
  • WebSockets
  • SHA-256
  • Node test runner
GitHub
Engineering notes
  • 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
  • Two-workspace monorepo with automated Node tests

No identity management, transfer resumption or bundled TURN credentials.
