birdsandbe.es Daily Puzzle

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview 🗺️

This is a daily puzzle game I made because I had some of those in my daily routine (Wordle, enclose.horse, daily LinkedIn games). I initially got the idea because I was having dinner and for some reason I was imagining how the objects on the table would have to be placed in order for light/lasers coming from the side to cover as much area as possible. I immediately wrote down the idea and started working on it the day after that. In about 2 weeks of working on it whenever I felt like it, I had a finished product, a puzzle generator and an algorithm I could use to quickly find the optimal solution(s) for any puzzle I gave it.

Swimming Lesson Evaluation Tool

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Overview 🗺️

This was a group project for school that took place over the course of ~20 weeks, for which we had to create a solution that would fix several of their problems. The client was a swimming club that taught children to swim and get their swimming certificates. The instructors were using paper for keeping track of the swimmer’s progress, which proved to be a problem in an environment with a lot of water. Some of their other issues were that paper could get lost and it takes long to find the information they are looking for, parents/guardians had no way to see the progress of their kids and parents/guardians often didn’t speak Dutch, which made it hard to comminucate what the kids should work on.

Beestje Op Je Feestje

Sun, 07 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Overview 🗺️

‘Beestje Op Je Feestje’ is an app we created in pairs using ASP.NET for a school project. The project mainly focused on validation rules, user authorization and authentication, unit testing, and hosting. An admin user can create animals with specific characteristics. These animals can then be rented by customers for a day, usually for parties. There are rules for choosing animals (for instance, some animals can’t be rented with certain others, based on their name or type). There are also discount rules (like a 2% discount for every consecutive letter in the alphabet found in the combined names of all the rented animals). Following that, we had to write unit tests until at least 40% code coverage. The last step was to host the web application with Azure, along with a database.

Each role is equipped with specific permissions and functionalities, enabling interactions with various entities such as products or companies.

Project Bumbo

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Overview 🗺️

‘Project Bumbo’ was a group project I participated in during my school days, where our team of five was tasked with solving a pressing issue for ‘Bumbo’, a fictional supermarket chain. The challenge at hand was the time-consuming and inefficient scheduling process that the store manager faced every week. This often resulted in employees working overtime and shifts where the store was either understaffed or overstaffed.

ASP.NET
Entity Framework Core
Azure Hosting
MVC

Challenges and Solutions 🧗🏻

Transitioning into the world of software frameworks was a significant step for me, as my previous framework experience was primarily with JavaFX, which is more of a library than a framework. Diving into ASP.NET presented a new set of challenges. Fortunately, the MVC architecture was a familiar concept, which helped me navigate through the learning process. Despite some initial difficulties, I dedicated myself to understandin the framework, and over time, I became proficient in its application.

Sesame Street Website

Sun, 30 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Overview 🗺️

For this project, I was tasked with creating a website on a theme of my choice. I decided on a Sesame Street theme because I’ve always been drawn to its look and it brings back nostalgic memories. The website had to fulfill certain criteria like having five pages each with a unique layout, being responsive using media queries, and including a web form (which wasn’t part of the five-page requirement).
