My Projects
A content analytics dashboard built for a real brand agency to track Instagram/Meta Stories performance across multiple accounts. Features full CRUD with soft deletion and audit trails, a custom BI engine for engagement metrics and compliance scoring, period-over-period comparisons, Excel bulk import with duplicate detection, and automated PDF executive reports delivered via email. Built on a Firebase Realtime Database with live subscriptions — data updates across all views without page refresh.
A C# WinForms drawing application for creating 2D technical drawings with precision control. Features real-time line and circle rendering with GDI+ graphics, shape selection with editable properties (coordinates, color, length/diameter), and a coordinate system with customizable grid and axis overlay. Includes snap-to-point functionality for precise object placement, smooth canvas centering animation, and continuous eraser mode. Built with custom event-driven architecture and a shape abstraction layer (IShape interface), bilingual UI support (Spanish/English), and persistent application settings. Demonstrates fundamental technical drawing principles and WinForms control design patterns.
An interactive web app built around a custom HTML5 drag-and-drop engine with real-time collision detection. Rendering is optimized for a steady 60fps using React Hooks (useRef, useCallback) to avoid unnecessary re-renders, paired with hardware-accelerated CSS animations for fluid motion.
