Hotel Booking App

The Hotel Booking App was created using the Statamic Content Management System and Laravel. It features a working contact page, newsletter signup, a booking module that allows users to request bookings, and a calendar that shows blocked-off and booked dates. It also features a beautiful photo gallery, which allows multiple image galleries with descriptions for each image. The administrator can control content via a backend user interface and add as many rental units as desired. Rental units can easily be published or unpublished. Since I programmed it in Statamic, the site is blazingly fast as it does not require a database. All gallery images are automatically optimized as well to increase speed.

Administration for Augmented Reality Scavenger Hunt

This project involved developing an administration interface for the Dux Augmented Reality Scavenger Hunt, a mobile app for the City of Guelph, Ontario. The interface allows users to create new scavenger hunts with multiple locations and clues. The backend was built using Laravel, adhering to SOLID design principles, while the frontend utilized various JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Croppie.js for image cropping, and Dropzone.js for file uploads. An API was also created allowing the Dux Android and IOS app to connect with it. The app was deployed on an Ubuntu server using Apache2, with the directory set up through symbolic links for seamless access in a subfolder of the main domain.
