Unique Health

A digital health start-up specialised in personalised nutrition and consultations

Unique Health offers an online quiz to schools and families to measure their children's health. Wanting to expand into the D2C market, they approached me to fully re-design their website and consult on how to improve their existing site and quiz web-app. In response, I created the new website as a custom woocommerce theme, giving them full e-commerce functionality and an editable blog. I overhauled the existing Laravel application and database to tier access to premium users. Lastly, I connected the Woocommerce website via SSO and created a unified user database.

CricketVision

A UK-based cricket coaching company.

CricketVision manages a team of coaches for their own client-base, as well as other clubs across Hertfordshire, UK. They sought to become a tech company by automating in-house processes. To do so, I designed and developed the entire front-end for a coach management web-app. Built in React.js, it serves three user groups: Clubs, Coaches and Customers. Each manage their jobs in a different way through dashboards and live feeds.

VolunteerSafe

Created in COVID-19, VolunteerSafe is an Identity Verification platform for grassroots volunteering organisations.

This web-app allowed grassroots volunteering organisations to request an account, and be able to pass volunteers through a series of automated background checks. After passing the background checks, the volunteers can join organisations as a verified volunteer. I designed and developed the front-end in Adobe XD and React.js. I co-coordinated the team of x5 volunteer developers in creating the front-end, and worked with volunteering groups to understand their requirements, and build in features they would need to use.
