Web Tools and Utilities


Python, FastAPI, JavaScript, Cursor

2025

This project is to familiarize myself with the capabilities and pitfalls of using AI to code with Cursor IDE. This on-going collection of useful server-side tools has been built primarily by prompting Cursor, ensuring careful oversight of code, and manually optimizing and updating features along the way.

Recipe and Events Blog


WordPress, JavaScript, CSS

2025

Designed by Lubna Sarigat, this was my first go at fully learning and embracing the WordPress Full Site Editor. Using the Create Block Theme plugin alongside Git versioning, this work-in-progress has a landing page rich with responsive CSS design.

Bike Trip Blog


TypeScript, Leaflet, Flask

2024

In 2022 my friends crossed the US on bicycles. I created a WordPress blog for them to track their adventure, complete with a map and daily stats. Later, I exported the data to create this TypeScript-based app with a Leaflet map, Flask backend, and Python script for bulk creation of GPX files from Google Maps URLs.

Indie Rock Band Theme

Custom WordPress theme for a local indie/rock band. Utilizes custom post types and Advanced Custom Fields to track and display albums, concerts, and a blog.

Custom WordPress plugin which adds functionality to allow certain blocks in the Gutenberg editor (paragraph, header, etc.) to display dynamic data on the frontend.
