Projects

A deeper look at what I have built, what drove each project, and what I walked away knowing.

UniMatch was born from a real problem โ€” the DGES admission scoring system is opaque and confusing for most students. I built a tool that takes your grades, applies the official formula, and shows you exactly where you stand. It's now live at unimatch.pt and used by real students.

Key takeaways

  • Built and deployed a full production-grade Next.js app end-to-end
  • Implemented complex grade calculation logic matching official Portuguese DGES formulas exactly
  • Designed a responsive, accessible UI tested with real users
  • Learned about SEO, Core Web Vitals, and performance optimisation for real traffic
  • Handled user feedback loops and iterated on UX based on actual usage
