Side Projects

These are either open source libraries or mock websites or ongoing projects that aren’t big enough (yet) to be listed independently, I figured it’d make more sense to list all of these together as a single case study.

💣 Bombs away!

🌟 Tentwenty’s Portfolio Clone

This is essentially tentwenty’s website (link) with some improvements of my own. I made this as a pitch to tentwenty cuz I wanted them to hire me, and it worked!

Tentwenty’s lead engineer, Niel Ong, asked me in the interview

How did you manage to not only improve the website, but also make it feel good

his exact words, still remember him saying it because it felt so damn good. The original site is here and you can fine my improved version here.

🍞 Crust

A simple boilerplate for creating NPM packages. Includes TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, Vitest, and Changesets, all you need to ship something to NPM. You can find Crust here.

🪾 Trunk

The sassiest JavaScript utilities in town (that you can contribute to)! A suite of tested functions I use regularly in my apps, available as an NPM package here.

🚀 Kashtronauter 2077

A literal space ship built with HTML, CSS, and JS that jumps to hyperspace! It’s a little unfinished, but even then it’s so slick. You can find it here.

🍇 Grape!

Grape is a SaaS in progress. A collection of recipes for everyone (for now), and in future will be getting AI-powered meal, workout, and sleep tracking, sort of an all-in-one meta fitness app. I built Grape as a PWA using Ionic and React. You can find it here.

📰 Today News

A mock news app that is a proof of how powerful CSS variables are. Go ahead and switch the themes on the site, every change you see is happening by a simple CSS variable-set and an HTML data-theme attribute.
