Museum Management System

Museum Management System

Aug 2024 – Dec 2024

The Problem

For a capstone database course, the brief called for a practical full-stack application demonstrating database design, API development, and front-end integration. The challenge was to deliver a comprehensive system from scratch within a single semester.

The Solution

I designed and developed a complete museum management system. The back-end, built with Node.js and Express, exposes a robust RESTful API for all CRUD operations against a MySQL database. The React front-end consumes this API to provide an intuitive interface for managing exhibits, staff, and visitors. The entire application is deployed on Azure Static Web Apps for reliable and scalable hosting.

MusicBot

MusicBot

Sept 2024 – Present

The Problem

Music playback in Discord servers often relies on cumbersome text commands and offers limited user convenience.

The Solution

I developed a Python-based Discord bot using discord.py and youtube_dl. A key feature is dual interaction support — traditional text commands and interactive buttons — to accommodate users of all experience levels. Asynchronous processing enables the bot to handle concurrent requests with no perceptible latency.
