Projects

University of Auckland Snowsports Club

2024
React TypeScript OpenAPI Jest Firebase Stripe Docker CI/CD

The official website for the University of Auckland Snowsports Club, serving 700+ members as the centralised hub for membership and event signups, and lodge bookings. Provides rich functionality for club admins to manage all aspects of the club's operations. I led and mentored a team of 13 students in the development of this project which was shipped earlier than the requested deadline.

A service for Primal Printing, allowing for easy ordering of coursebooks and management of orders. The site automated many of the manual processes that were previously done by the Primal Printing team, such as spreadsheet entry and payment tracking and regularly handles orders from 100+ students per semester.
