A developer who gets excited about turning messy data into beautiful insights. LayoffLens is my latest attempt at making the world's workforce data actually useful!๐
From a simple frustration to a full-blown data platform
Picture this: It's 2 AM, I'm scrolling through tech news, and I see yet another layoff announcement. Then another. And another. I thought to myself:"What if we could get all this data in one place?"
I wanted to create something that would help job seekers, researchers, and anyone curious about workforce trends. No more hunting through dozens of news sites or trying to piece together incomplete data.
Late-night scrolling through tech news, seeing layoff after layoff... 'There has to be a better way to track all this!'
Spent weeks aggregating data from hundreds of sources, building scrapers, and crying over CSV files.
Fueled by coffee and determination, built the entire platform in Next.js with real-time analytics.
Added interactive maps, beautiful charts, and enough features to make data nerds happy.
Because one project is never enough! Here are some other things I've built that I'm pretty excited about ๐
Comprehensive ESG data tracking dashboard with real-time analytics
๐ฌ CineVerse is a modern movie discovery platform built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript using the TMDB API. It features advanced search, smart filters, a personal watchlist, responsive design, and offline support via PWAโperfect for exploring trending and genre-based movies with a stunning UI.
๐ฐ SpendAI is a full-stack personal finance platform that uses AI to analyze spending patterns, process bank statements (CSV/PDF), and deliver real-time insights through interactive dashboards. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, it showcases AI integration, modern UI, and production-ready architecture.
Here's what powers LayoffLens - my carefully chosen stack for maximum performance and developer happiness๐
The data that makes me proud! ๐
I'm always excited to collaborate on interesting projects, discuss data challenges, or just chat about tech over a virtual coffee! โ
