Hi, I'm @lamppu, welcome!

Here you can see some of the projects I've worked on during my Software Engineering studies and on my spare time.

• A simple React app I created for fun and to strengthen my React skills and to learn basics of TypeScript
• Idea: The app can be used to select and reorder PDF files to merge together and the created file can be then downloaded
• Key takeaways:
  • TypeScript basics
  • Using prettier to help format code
  • Using Filepond (by PQINA)
• Tools & technologies: React, TypeScript
• Demo: https://pdf-combiner.vercel.app/
• Repo: https://github.com/lamppu/pdf-combiner

• This project was part of a job application process and I have modified it based on the feedback
• Idea: Showing different information from fake vaccine data based on a chosen date and time
• What I implemented for this project:
  • created database and seeded it with data from .source-files
  • created a REST server, with endpoints to get different information
  • built queries from the server to the database
  • created the ui with a form to fetch data from the server
  • wrote tests for both the server and the client
  • added CircleCI to build and test the app when pushing commits to Git
• Key takeaways:
  • learned about the possible pitfalls of working with ISO datetimes
  • learned to write tests
  • focused more on readability of the code and clarity of the project structure
  • gained better understanding of using reusable components with React
• Tools & technologies: Node.js, Express.js, React, MySQL, CircleCI
• Repo: https://github.com/lamppu/vaccine-app

• Course: Innovation Project
• Team members: 6
• Idea: The app could be used to evaluate how "green" an app is and compare it with other apps in the same category.
• My responsibilities:
  • planned and created the server and the database for the app
  • implemented an endpoint to search with a keyword in the server
  • calculated the scores for the apps
  • set up and configured the server on a virtual machine in the Azure cloud
• Key takeaways:
  • learned to build a server using Node.js and Express.js
  • gained confidence by learning the use of Knex.js and Bookshelf.js tools independently from documentation
  • gained better understanding of using asynchronous functions with JavaScript
  • learned about using Scrum methodology to organize team work
• Tools & technologies: Node.js, Express.js, MySQL, Azure Virtual Machine, Nginx, CircleCI
• Repo: https://github.com/lamppu/Energy-smarties-server

• Course: Software Business Start-Up
• Team members: 5
• Idea: A website for exchange students to swap their apartments with each other.
• My responsibilities:
  • implemented navigation on the site
  • implemented registering as a host and adding a flat to be swapped
• Key takeaways:
  • learned basics of React and Node.js development
• Tools & technologies: Node.js, Express.js, React.js and MongoDB.
• Repo: https://github.com/lamppu/FlatSwap

• Course: Software Structures and Models
• Team members: 5
• Idea: A flash card application to study any subject.
• My responsibilities:
  • implemented adding new cards
  • implemented reading the cards from and writing them to a .csv-file
  • implemented saving the files in a folder in the user's device
• Key takeaways:
  • learned basics of Android app development
• Tools & technologies: Android Studio, Java, XML
• Repo: https://github.com/lamppu/StudyCardsApp

• Course: Applicaion Development Methods
• Team members: 4
• Idea: A task management application for a hotel.
• My responsibilities:
  • created the server and database together with another team member
  • implemented user authentication and authorization (although tbh I didn't really have a good understanding of this yet and implemented it in a bad way)
  • implemented adding and removing users and tasks
• Key takeaways:
  • learned to understand the structure of web applications and how different parts communicate with each other
• Tools & technologies: JavaEE, JPA, GlassFish, MariaDB, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3
