Building & Room Extron Networked Device Analyser. A custom dashboard built for the AV and 1st Line support teams at the University of Huddersfield. It provides a real-time overview of campus-wide equipment status, communicating directly with Extron's GlobalViewer Enterprise software to enable proactive problem resolution.
HPC Monitor Dashboard
A custom dashboard and backend API designed to monitor High Performance PCs within the School of Computing and Engineering at the University of Huddersfield. It collects real-time data on user activity, system status, and allows for seamless management of PC bookings and power states.
Laptop Availability Dashboard
A live dashboard for Helpdesk and AV staff at the University of Huddersfield. It interfaces with the Onarken API to provide real-time status updates on Lapsafe Lockers, displaying availability, loan status, and error alerts to streamline equipment management.
PC Availability Dashboard
A real-time monitoring tool for IT and AV staff at the University of Huddersfield. It utilizes internal system APIs to track and display the usage status of PCs across the campus, helping to manage resources and assist students in finding available computers.
PingyThingy
A simplified network monitoring solution filling the gap for a practical, user-friendly tool. It combines a physical hardware device with a secure hosted dashboard for real-time visibility, instant alerts via Discord/Slack, and rapid setup. [pingythingy.com]
3D Printing Automation
A fun weekend project allowing users to upload STL files to a live queue. Once a countdown timer hit zero, the winning STL was automatically sent to print, with the entire process live-streamed for community engagement.
Light The Christmas Tree
A festive charity project allowing anyone to interact with a Christmas tree from anywhere in the world. Users could control the tree's lights in real-time while raising money for charity, powered by a Raspberry Pi and Python API.
Ai City
A simple pixel-art city simulation where an AI Mayor manages the town. Using Ollama, the AI detects the city's needs—Housing, Police, Fire, Education, Work, Power—and builds accordingly to ensure a thriving metropolis.
LinuxBlast
A daily news aggregator for Linux enthusiasts that scrapes multiple sources and uses AI to generate a daily podcast summary. It features a retro terminal aesthetic and real-time text-to-speech playback. [linuxblast.mr95.uk]
