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.

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.

EventSphere

Assignment for WEB1201 Web Fundamentals. The concept of the website allows people to book venues and contact expert planners for different types of events within Malaysia. The website is fully frontend (no backend) where functionalities are simulated through client-side JavaScript. The latter is done in order to fully showcase the concept of the website. The simulated authentication requires a server to function as it uses the built-in Crypto API in browsers which requires a secure context (SSL/TLS). You may click here for a video presentation on YouTube. The project was done in a group of 4 members: Joshua Edwin Rene Bonham, Lai Yung Wei, Justin Yong Wenn Weii, and I.

Spuiz

Spuiz was my first proper, full-stack, web project which lasted from April 24, 2020 to June 7, 2020. I had two reasons when I created this: to learn web application development and to share quizzes with my friends. I learned a lot and gained a very good understanding of how a full-stack web application worked through this project, including user authentication, AJAX requests, and database management. Notably, the project employed SQLite, despite being suboptimal for as a shared production database, I learned a valuable lesson hindsight.
