🍺 Boozer

A quick draw.io diagram of how the architecture looks

  • GitHub link

  • Tools used: PostgreSQL, Go, Docker, AWS EC2, CI/CD

My current project is Boozer. There's been a long standing desire in my friend group to calculate the beer consumption.

Unfortunately most solutions for this were either 1. Designed for addiction or 2. Local to the device running the application. Because of this I decided to start planning out development of our own solution.

Each of us have different skills to offer for the project:

  • I myself took on the role of project lead and backend engineer.
Others are in charge of:
  • database administration (alongside myself)
  • frontend engineering
  • data analysis
  • requirements gathering

I deliberately went into the deep end with this project so that I could learn, for example:

  • In the future for this project I would like to implement a Redis (or similar) cache between the API and database.
  • This absolutely is not necessary, the backend and db (which has 100s of rows, not millions) run on the same switch and receive <100 requests/day, not 100,000. Yet I still have this thought out in my head out of pure curiosity.

Quick and easy pastebin

GitHub link

A pastebin backend written in Go. Also notice the beautiful code sourced from here.

Sometime late 2021
Sorting Algorithm Visualiser

Sorting algorithm visualiser written in Python using Pygame. Visualises various sorting algorithms, including: Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, Selection Sort, Merge Sort, Quick Sort, Heap Sort, and Radix Sort.

Helped me to develop a better understanding of how these algorithms work. Oh and data visualisation is always cool.
