Some Notable Projects
A selection of projects I have worked on.
JDBC SQL Project
A 4th year project using Java, SQL and JDBC.
I created a GUI that enabled the user to manipulate a movie database using CRUD commands
as well as SQL features such as stored programs, stored features, events, triggers and views.
Maths Web site
A multi functional maths based website built using HTML, CSS and Javascript.
I also used some external libraries to create the floating effect on the splash page and
the card effect on the index page.
Destiny Web Project
My first effort at creating a website. This was dedicated to the game Destiny 2 and
I got to showcase what I had learned and was amazed at what could be achieved with only 10 weeks of Web Development.
Newspaper Delivery System
My second year group project tasked us with creating a newspaper delivery system.
We used Java, SQL and JDBC to create the backend and I created the GUI to give the user an interface to work with.
This was my first opportunity to use Agile and Scrum at project level and my team thrived with it.
I was responsible for designing, coding and testing the delivery person segment, the entire GUI and most of the initial database.
I also converted all our Sprint 1 code to be compatible with the GUI as it was initially designed for use in a CLI.
I achieved 97% in my 2nd year project and was extremely proud of what we achieved as a group.
Weather Website
An introduction to using API's. I created this site and linked it to a weather API that updates
automatically and gives daily and weekly forecasts. You can search any world city and it also
displays in metric and imperial measurements.
The icons and background change depending on the weather.
A geolocation section was also added to show the users location on a map and automatically set the current weather to this area.
Carzone.ie web Scraping
This 4th year project introduced me to web scraping and data visualisation.
I used python and a number of libraries including Beautiful Soup, Selenium, pandas and plotly.
I loved this project and have since scraped many sites outside of college.
Connect 4 Game in Java
A second year Java and swing project to create a functional connect 4 game.
I added scoring and win conditions. This was a good project to practice swing, which I find quite outdated and clunky but
it was good to get a working application from the project.
Star Trek Mobile App
I built this project in 3 stages over the course of a semester in second year.
Initially I created a basic Star Trek fan app but expanded it with advanced features such as cloud storage,
registration and login using Google Firebase to store and query information.
A very enjoyable project where I got to use Android Studio and get a taste for Kotlin.
