My Projects

Sorting Simulation

Users can observe how the algorithm works, step-by-step, in real-time, providing a better understanding of the underlying logic. Implemented a capability to switch between different sorting algorithms, including Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, Merge Sort, and more, to compare their performance and efficiency. Users can change the size of the array or generate a new one, allowing for easy experimentation with different input sizes. Added the feature to preview the Java code for the chosen algorithm, providing a better understanding of the implementation.

JSON-Transformer

App to transform JSON by writing JS live in the browser and instantly get the output. A web environment, where a user could see their input JSON & output, and add transformation code to iterate over the data quickly. Built using Monaco Editor and React JSON Viewer. Features include storing state in local-storage, calculating output only when the user wants which provides a better user experience.

React Terminal

A couple of days back, me and my friend were discussing about portfolio sites. Since I already have a boring about me page(which you are currently browsing), I went with something different and built a simple terminal emulator in React!

DevFinder

Designed a backend CRUD API with NodeJS, Express, MongoDB. Functionalities include listing all developers and their skills in the database[pagination, filtering, selecting, limiting included], searching for developers by radius using zip code. Implemented user authentication.

PaperStox

A paper stock trading application. Built Frontend using Flutter and used Firebase for backend. I worked on the buy/sell page of the application and the settings page. Application has features such as watchlist, history, details etc. Worked with firebase to handle user data.

Interview Problem Tracker

This project is about tracking solved interview problems. It allows you to enter the details of the problem solved. Also you can mark when the problem was last solved(10 days, a month, 2 months). Bookmark feature is also provided. This is developed completely using React. Refreshing the page will not make you lose progress as data is stored in localStorage.

Customer-Segmentation

This project is about performing data analysis and customer segmentation by dividing a store's customers into groups that reflect similarity among customers in each group. There are some important questions, answers of which may increase the profit of the business. Number of products sold every month. Amount of money customers spend every month. Performing customer segmentation analysis. Recommendations based on segmentation analysis.

Bushop

Bushop is an android app that tracks the user's current location and helps the user to find nearby bus-stations within a 1km radius. The app also has an authentication & search feature which helps the user to search buses & their schedule via route number, source and destination.

Employe-Ease

A website designed using Python framework (Django) which helps users in finding a part-time job easily.
