Putting Pals

GitHub

React app

Started several years ago as a friendly competition among friends to bet on winners of major golf tournaments. It's evolved from a simple spreadsheet into an over-engineered web application. I've rewritten it many times as a playground to test out new technologies so it may be in a WIP state depending on the time. Most recently I've swapped out GraphQL for tRPC.

Inter Club League

GitHub

React app

My cycling club runs a friendly racing league with several other clubs each year. Weekly info is posted across multiple platforms and people often had trouble finding the relevant info for each race. I built this to consolidate all the schedule, race locations and results in a single place.
