Hello, I’m Jason Chi

Projects

Funding for The Bees

Collaborated in a team of five to develop a full-stack application using Angular for a seamless user interface. Contributed to mainly frontend development, ensuring efficient data flow and a polished user experience. Designed the website, ensuring that each page offered a polished and intuitive user experience. Integrated frontend designs with backend functionality to ensure smooth data flow and seamless operation of key features. Key features include user authentication, the ability to add, remove, and filter financial needs, advanced search functionality for tracking specific needs, and a checkout system for fulfilling those needs.

Night Club Capcity System

Designed a dynamic app to monitor nightclub capacities with real-time updates, occupancy thresholds, and color-coded alerts using HTML, JavaScript, and inline styling. Refactored the app into React.js for improved modularity, state management, and seamless dynamic rendering of occupancy and club details. Enhanced responsiveness with Reactstrap and Bootstrap, implementing CRUD functionality for managing club data, user-friendly modals for editing and adding clubs, and filtering by location. Developed a full-stack solution with Flask-based RESTful APIs and PostgreSQL for persistent data storage, ensuring robust client-server synchronization and secure data handling.

Chat System

Designed a scalable chat system with PostgreSQL for database management and Python (Flask) for RESTful API development. Created a relational schema, implemented CRUD operations, optimized SQL queries, and added full-text search capabilities. Built APIs for user management, messaging, notifications, analytics, and authentication using SHA-512 hashing and session keys. Enabled features like thread-based replies, user suspensions, and activity summaries. Developed and executed comprehensive automated tests with CI integration to ensure functionality and maintainability.
