CheckFuelPrice
About project
As an independent software developer, I’m creating a real-time fuel price and location app called CheckFuelPrice. Ever been stranded, unsure where the nearest gas station is or how much the fuel costs? This app is the perfect solution, quickly pinpointing the closest gas stations and displaying their current fuel prices using government-issued data.
I’m building a robust platform to address the common challenge of finding affordable fuel on the road, leveraging real-time data.

MyEyeSite
About project
MyEyeSite is a proof-of-concept platform for patients with rare eye diseases to overcome the challenges of collating and sharing their data with clinicians and for research. Currently rare disease patients’ data is scattered across many different healthcare providers, hindering comprehensive data analysis essential for developing targeted treatments, and making it hard for clinicians to access the information they need for appointments.
MyEyeSite solves this by enabling patients themselves to upload and securely manage their data, including OCT scans, in a personally-owned repository, and share it as they see fit to improve care and accelerate health research.
Personal contribution to this project
I designed and implemented a REST API for patient and clinician interfaces that enables patients to track their progress and securely share information with clinicians. I was also responsible for developing core functionality and implementing robust security measures across patient and clinician portals. This included adding two-factor authentication via SMS for enhanced account protection and safeguarding sensitive health data. Additionally, I developed various audit events necessary for managing sensitive information.

About project
This project is a full-stack application to automate the metrics that truly influence smart investment decisions. For businesses that aim to use their capital wisely the crucial piece of information is to know how long will it take for a project to turn an investment into profit?
Discount rate metric – is a powerful tool that helps to understand and transform future cash flows into present value. This will provide the insight of the real-time perspective on providing a clear view of the project worth today.
Just imagine being able to evaluate your projects, considering all the costs and estimate future cash flows based on the available funds and discount rate.
Imagine if you had a system that could guide your investment strategy, using metrics like Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Period (PBP)? Using these metrics this tool will provide strategic advice on whether to invest in a project with a single click, you can add selected projects to a personalised investment tracker, constantly updating projected cash flows and offering real-time insights.
