DevConMU Scheduler
At the MSCC's Developers Conference 2024, held on the 18th - 20th of July, a few attendees complained about not being able to save the sessions they wanted to attend on the official website's agenda.
Initially, I wrote a script you could run in your browser to enable this feature. This was not the best solution for mobile device users.
So, I built DevConMU Scheduler, an app that allows you to save sessions you're interested in attending.
Slides
Speaking for conferences is something I'm passionate about. Usually, speakers need their slides, which in turn need to be properly backed up and quick access to them is necessary.
One could use platforms like Google Slides but the idea of being dependent on proprietary software gives me chills, the creepy kind! After some research, I found out I could use open source packages to build my own platform. So, that's how Slides came to life.
frontend.mu
frontend.mu is a community built around the goal of improving the quality of front-end development in Mauritius.
Along with the support of sponsors, frontend.mu organizes monthly meetups which are completely free to attend. These meetups provide a platform for networking, increased visibility and knowledge sharing.
I'm inspired by this community, hence my regular contributions to the codebase, discussions and as a speaker.
Mauritius Tax Calculator
Mauritius Tax Calculator is an unofficial alternative to the MRA's tax calculator for employees in Mauritius that aims to make the PAYE tax charged by the MRA easier to calculate and understand.
I personally found it particularly hard to understand the tax system for employees based in Mauritius. So, I did some research, then built this tool. Before or during interviews, candidates can use it to get a quick view of how much they will be left with after taxes.
Kubernetes Environment Variables Converter
Convert Kubernetes environment variables to .env format. You can simply drop a YAML file containing Kubernetes environment variables and the conversion is done instantly.
The original version of this tool was built alongside a colleague at a company I was employed at. It was packaged so it could be executed via the command line. Later, I thought about upgrading it and publishing it online.
MUDOCS
A community-driven solution to public processes in Mauritius. MUDOCS provides documentation that aims at being more user-friendly than the official alternatives. Document generators can also fill out duplicate information automatically and validate user input.
Ultimately, MUDOCS allows for a smoother approach to public processes. One example is the sale/purchase of second hand vehicles, where the steps can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether it's for first timers or even others.
Cookstoves
30% of the world cook on open fire. Tembo Climate offers efficient (49% thermal efficiency) and safe building blocks for setting up cookstoves.
The app I was commissioned to build aimed to help in terms of logistics, mainly tracking raw materials (e.g. bricks), stove status, households, group members (i.e. people who would build the cookstoves).
Unfortunately, this app is not publicly available.
However, you can read more about this initiative here.
TheFutur
TheFutur was built to promote small businesses in Mauritius. It provides a search engine and allows users to view details about businesses.
A dashboard was also developed for administrators to update the app's content in an intuitive manner.
I got to partner with other developers on this project.
Unfortunately, the project I was involved in is no longer publicly available. However, you can still check out TheFutur's website to learn more.
