§ 01 / General Overview
The Psychology Lab needed tooling for its practicum work. I documented the architecture and data models up front, then built the tools and deployed them.
Three things came out of it: a quiz/assessment app, a CMS site, and an emotion classifier, built across Next.js, Laravel, and Python. I worked each one from interface to deployment and turned the lab staff's requirements into the specs.
For the lab apps I document the system architecture and data models before development. It's a deliberate habit — fixing the requirements upfront keeps the rework down once staff start using the tool day to day.
A quiz/assessment app, a CMS site, and an emotion classifier, built across Next.js, Laravel, and Python. I handled the whole cycle on each: interface design, frontend, backend logic, and deployment.
Once they're running I translate staff requests into changes and fix issues that come up during daily practicum operations. Most changes start as a verbal request from a staff member that I turn into a spec.
§ 03 / Outcomes & Performance Metrics
"Three practicum tools, built end to end. The data models went in before the code, which is why the requirements were settled before staff started depending on them."
