Projects

Projects I have done both in School and on my free time

E-Commerce Site

Click Here to Learn More About My E-Comm Website!

E-Commerce Site
E-Commerce Site built as a final project for a course using Java Servlets, SQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript This project was created during the last two weeks of the semester and was created alongside another group member while the two other memebers worked on the report (included in the repository). It has not been deployed due to lack of work from one of the group members. Includes an administrator dashboard, customer perspective, cart, working inventory system, and a catalogue.


Technologies used: Java Servlet, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JDBC, SQL

Cryptography WebApp

Click Here to Learn More About My Cryptography WebApp!

Cryptography WebApp
This repository utilizes some of the functions in the Applied Cryptography respository and is bundled into a webapp. This webapp uses easy navigation between concepts and user input to showcase some basic cryptography concepts. Using servlets for server calls, HTML5 & CSS for UI and JavaScript for input and display output, this allows for quick display of some of the ciphers and generators used in cryptography. It is important to note that some ciphersr are still in progress and more ciphers and cipher features are on the way.


Technologies used: Java Servlet, HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Applied Cryptography Ciphers

Click Here to Learn More About Ciphers

Applied Cryptography Ciphers
This repository contains various concepts that are used in cryptography such as Symmetric and Asymmetric cyphers (and decrypters), hash functions, and key establishments. The repository is separated by concepts and include excersies and their solutions both provided in the appropriate folder. It is worthy to note that CryptoTools.java is a java file used across multiple (if not all the) files and contains functions used for unit conversion and different useful get functions. While all the exercise solutions were written by myself, CryptoTools.java was written by York University's Professor Hamzeh Roumani.


Technologies used: Java

Operating System Fundamentals

Operating System Fundamentals
This was a course that I took in my undergrad that taught various concepts relevant to CPUs, shells and how some CPUs operate. Projects entailed creating a mock program in C that recreates how CPUs deal with processes and task lists, and we also had to create our own version of a shell!


Technologies used: C

Bagel World Website

Click Here to Learn More About The Restaurant Site I Built!

Bagel World Website
This site is a standard restaurant site, with a home page, menu page and even ordering a pick-up section where you can place an order for pick-up. This required using external API such as emailJS to contact both the customer and the restaurant and the site is being used for commercial purposes.


Technologies used: ReactJS, CSS, JavaScript, External APIs

Portfolio Site
I built this site to quickly explain about myself and what I have to offer. At this point, you have seen what my skills are, my past experience and education, and now my projects! I always try to improve this site and keep it up to date in representation of the standards I hold myself to and in representation of my on-going research to better myself as a software developer!
