Sunway University Anime Club Website

As the Head IT Manager of the Sunway University Anime Club, I developed this website to modernize and automate the club’s management processes. I built the core backend systems for member registration, authentication, and event attendance within three days, followed by a week of UI integration and an additional month of testing and refinement to ensure stability. My colleague, Alex Chee Kai Hong, being the second IT Manager, handled most of the frontend and UI development, with my guidance on implementation best practices. The platform enables students to register and verify membership through Discord OAuth2, access the server without manual invite links, and track attendance using a rotating QR code (updated every 60 seconds via SSE) for real-time validation. It also includes an automated announcement scheduler that posts updates to both Discord and Instagram simultaneously, reducing manual effort and improving communication efficiency.

Green Roots Academy (Visual Novel)

This is a visual novel game developed in Scala and ScalaFX for my PRG2104 Object-Oriented Programming assignment, created to promote awareness of UN SDG 2: Zero Hunger. With only two weeks to complete it, I built a custom visual novel engine from scratch and delivered a fully functional application without requesting an extension. The game includes branching story paths, an auto-save system, dialogue skipping, and four interactive Harvest Trial minigames inspired by Danganronpa.

GrabBuddy

Attempted at creating an AI-powered solution using Ollama, Mistral (7b), and Gemini for the "Economic Empowerment through AI" domain prepared by Grab for UMHackathon 2025. This solution is designed to serve as a "buddy" for vendors and merchants, assisting them in making informed decisions for their stores by providing valuable insights through a streamlined dashboard. The dashboard is powered by AI, which interprets and explains data in natural language, making it accessible and actionable. Additionally, the solution harnesses the capabilities of AI to summarize reviews of competitor stores, enabling merchants to gather comprehensive feedback on consumer expectations. Merchants can engage in natural language conversations with the AI to obtain insights regarding their store's statistics, including inventory management and receipt processing. This interactive feature enhances the decision-making process, ultimately contributing to the economic empowerment of the merchants. The team, named 418, consisted of 4 members: Joshua Edwin Rene Bonham, Alex Chee Kai Hong, Justin Yong Wenn Weii, and myself.

Zero to Web Hero

A series of web talks of 8 sessions with the goal of teaching the MEVN stack and Docker for Sunway Tech Club (STC). The final product is a simple todo application with authentication features included. This series is done in collaboration with Alex Chee Kai Hong, who is responsible for the frontend side for things, while I am responsible for the backend side of things and the Dockerisation of the project.

SVPS

Assignment for SEG2202 Software Engineering. This is a Smart Vehicle Performance System and the project involved designing a mobile application and an in-car display interface focused on enhancing user experience and functionality. The project involved drawing UML diagrams (Use Case, Sequence and Activity diagrams) and the design of the app via Figma.

Recipe Roots

This was an assignment for the subject WEB2202 Web Programming at Sunway University. This task was to create a web application using PHP based on the topic of SDG 2: Zero Hunger. Slogan: Your Kitchen Assistant - Create and share your recipes with fellow enthusiasts with easy access to all your cooking needs. Our team consisted of 2 members: Joshua Edwin Rene Bonham and myself. For the first week, we spent a substantial amount of time in designing how the website would look using Figma. A few changes were made in the finished website compared to the initial design in Figma because during the designing phase, we overlooked certain UX features. Because of the strict requirement of the website being done in PHP, 99% of features on the website can be used without JavaScript enabled. The remaining 1% is unusable (editing ingredients for a recipe), but was accommodated for in case JavaScript is unavailable, although UX is enhanced with it (progressive enhancement). Most UI features are done purely using HTML and CSS, including animations and certain functionalities such as modal pop ups. Despite this being a relatively rushed project and our first time working with PHP, this was a good learning experience and the website turned out to be pretty good overall.
