Spimy's Portfolio

ENG1044 Portfolio

This portfolio was an assignment for a research paper on the topic of Online Gambling for the subject ENG1044 English for Computer Technology Studies at Sunway University. Our team consisted of 3 members: Mohammad Shaan Ibne Javed Soyfoo, Joshua Edwin Rene Bonham and myself. Shaan designed a basic outline of the portfolio in Figma, Joshua directed the video, edited the video and made some creative decisions on the design of the portfolio, and I coded the portfolio. The team spent a substantial amount of time to decide on the colour palette to match the theme of the portfolio to gambling as much as possible. The portfolio consists of a roadmap of our journey through the research paper as well as the drafts and changes made to the research paper itself.

Weather

Weather is actually my first experience with SvelteKit. It is a common and simple beginner friendly project that I created because I wanted to try out Svelte itself. This was created within a couple of hours, because I was bored waiting for my flight that day. OpenWeatherMap's API was used to fetch relevant weather data and GeoDB Cities' API to fetch relevant geographical data. Of course, this project is far from perfect, but ultimately showcases my ability to adapt to new technologies and time constraints while creating a usable project.

Portfolio

My portfolio was initially built using Nuxt 3. This was because I was already familiar with Vue and wanted to explore a full-stack development without having a separated backend. However, I found that Nuxt 3 did not suit my taste - I disliked working with their server-side solution with the use of UnJS. As such, I decided to rebuild my portfolio with SvelteKit, which was growing in popularity for its speed due to its compiled nature, and simplicity. After working with SvelteKit, I fell in love with this framework. It was not just fast and simple, but also made it easier to implement accessibility features by providing an API for progressive enhancements while conforming to web standards. As a result, SvelteKit has since become my go-to framework for all my future projects unless I want to explore or a project requires a different library/framework.
