Subtitles

List of technologies used:

Python

Django

HTML

SCSS

JavaScript

TypeScript

Vue

Heroku

Ubuntu

NGINX

Git

In collaboration with Eray Chumak, we successfully developed Subtitles, a web project that addresses the need for a streamlined and user-friendly platform to download subtitles for movies, TV shows, and anime. Eray worked on the frontend using Vue to create a good user experience when browsing. I worked on the backend, integrating OpenSubtitles' API and TMDB's API to retrieve relevant data. We created this together because we both found existing websites for downloading subtitles to be cluttered - especially with ads - and a designed which was outdated. We created Subtitles with a simple goal: to search and download subtitles efficiently without distractions. The project was initially hosted on Heroku. However, we moved the hosting over to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in March 2023 due to Heroku's updates in payment policies. This migration allowed me to learn Bash through SSH and settings up a functional web server using NGINX. This project allowed us to refine our technical skills as well as our teamwork and communication skills, making this a very good learning experience.

Spuiz

JavaScript

SQLite

Git

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.
