Academic Portfolio Website

Built for a doctoral researcher, this academic portfolio surfaces research highlights, publications, CV, and professional projects in a clean, responsive interface. The focus was on intuitive navigation and accessibility across devices, with SEO optimisation and Google Search Console integration to improve search visibility, and performance enhancements informed by Lighthouse metrics and analytics.

Master Thesis Web Platforms

Two fully functional web platforms (a social network and a content streaming site) designed and deployed end-to-end to support usability research on risk-based re-authentication factors. Both required robust client-side logic, secure data handling, and API development to serve as realistic research environments. Hosted on Google Firebase.

Friend Management System

A personalised social network built as a solo project in Java, featuring friend request, unfriend, and block functionality. Developed end-to-end using Spring Boot and MySQL, then deployed on PCF Cloud Foundry. Built as part of academic coursework at Universität des Saarlandes, with JUnit testing applied throughout to ensure reliability and code quality.
