Projects

01

Applied software engineering built to resolve friction in real workflows, from client-side data scraping and OAuth synchronization to interactive economics teaching.

RekodJa : Automated Job Tracker

Chrome Extension & Web App
Personal Engineering Project : Dual-Client Google Integration
The Problem

Job hunting involves tracking dozens of applications across diverse platforms. Manual spreadsheet logging is slow, fragmented, and prone to abandonment.

The Solution

Two interconnected tools sharing one single Google Sheet source: save live job details instantly via browser extension, then analyze and manage follow-ups via the web dashboard.

Job Listing DOM Target RekodJa Ext DOM Scraper Google Sheets Direct User Cloud RekodJa Web App Gmail Scan & Analytics Job Listing DOM Target RekodJa Ext DOM Scraper Google Sheets Direct User Cloud RekodJa Web App Gmail & Analytics
  • Automated DOM Parsing: Dynamically extracts role title, hiring company, date, and link directly from active job boards, eliminating manual data entry.
  • Direct Cloud Persistence: Authenticates via OAuth 2.0 to write rows straight into the candidate's personal Google Sheet.
  • Privacy-First Architecture: Pure client-side data transmission with zero intermediate backend storage, ensuring zero hosting costs and full confidentiality.
  • Session & Dashboard Analytics: Secure Google OAuth session handling with visual breakdowns of application velocity, response rates, and interview pipeline stages.
  • Bidirectional Synchronization: Reads existing applications directly from connected Google Sheets and allows live status updates with automatic two-way sync.
  • Gmail Integration Engine: Scans user email threads to identify recruiter responses and application acknowledgments for one-click verification.

Econ Tutor : SPM Economics Study Site

Web App
Personal Engineering Project : Interactive KSSM Form 4 & 5 Economics
The Problem

SPM Economics is graph-heavy, yet students learn from static textbook diagrams they never move, and practise from trial papers scattered across PDFs that give no feedback on a phone.

The Solution

One sign-in site covering every Form 4 and Form 5 chapter: notes in textbook order, diagrams students drag to watch price and quantity respond, recall drills, calculators, and trial papers with schemes.

ECON TUTOR GRAPH ENGINE • MARKET FOR ONE GOOD Drag the gold node or use arrow keys
PriceRM 8.40
Quantity demanded16
Quantity supplied64
SS>DD48 units

Excess supplyLebihan penawaran

At RM 8.40, sellers offer 64 units but buyers want only 16. Unsold stock pushes the price down toward P*.

  • Draggable Graph Engine: 36 SVG diagrams inside the notes. Nodes, price lines and curves move by mouse, touch or arrow keys, with values updating as they move. The panel above is a simplified version of one of them.
  • Active Recall: 263 flashcards students mark Dah ingat or Ulang lagi, and 178 chapter quiz questions with an explanation for every answer. Progress stays in the student's own browser.
  • 39 Syllabus Calculators: from opportunity cost and elasticity to GDP and exchange rates, each showing the answer, step-by-step working and an interpretation.
  • Trial Paper Practice: Kelantan 2025, Seberang Perai 2025 and Perak 2024 papers, with Kertas 1 as an objective quiz and Kertas 2 answer boxes students self-mark against the scheme.
