CASE · 001

Modular Alphabet

2025 · Solo project · Creative Coding · Generative

An interactive visual system that converts text into 3D modular geometry using positional binary encoding. Each character maps to a unique configuration of 8 points within a three-dimensional cube structure — making the invisible logic of encoding visible and explorable.

Key technical decision

Rather than using an existing 3D library with orbit controls, I built a custom spherical rotation camera from scratch on top of p5.js. The trade-off was development time vs. full control over the interaction model. Rejecting standard orbit controls let me design the touch behaviour specifically for mobile-first exploration, eliminating the quirks that come from adapting desktop paradigms to touch.

Outcome

Shipped and live at modular-alphabet.vercel.app. Three interactive modes: an immersive 3D cloud explorer, a real-time text generator with PNG export, and a learning game. Zero external dependencies beyond p5.js.

TripTip

2023 · Solo project · Full-stack · Backend · REST API · React

A full-stack travel recommendations platform where users discover and share lesser-known destinations and experiences. Built as the capstone project for the Hack A Boss web development bootcamp — covering the full cycle from database design to deployed React client.

Key technical decision

The key architectural decision was separating the API (TripTip-Api) from the React client (TripTip-App) into two independent repositories from day one. This forced a clean contract between layers and made it straightforward to test the API in isolation with Postman before wiring up the frontend. Authentication is handled with JWT and bcrypt — no third-party auth service, which kept the project self-contained and made the token flow explicit.

Outcome

MVP shipped as the bootcamp capstone. Features: user registration & auth, recommendation CRUD with photo upload via Multer, voting, comments, and profile management. Both repos public on GitHub.
