Rebuilt my portfolio from scratch and gave it a bit of personality this time.
Went with a bold black, yellow, and white look instead of the usual dark developer-portfolio template. Full dark mode too, built to feel just as intentional as the light version, not just an inverted color scheme.
The part I'm most proud of is the chatbot. It's a small assistant named Arem that answers questions about my background and projects, built entirely with rule-based matching in the browser, no paid API, no per-message cost.
Recorded a quick walkthrough, attached. Would love thoughts.

Propeida — Exam Prep to Career Clarity, in One App
Role: Solo Founder & Full-Stack Developer
Stack: Next.js, Supabase, Paystack
Live: propeida.online (http://propeida.online)
The Problem
Nigerian students preparing for JAMB and Post-UTME have plenty of past-question apps, but almost none of them answer the question that actually matters after the exam: what does this course lead to? Students pick courses based on prestige or peer pressure, not on labor market reality, skill requirements, or where a field is actually headed. The result is a huge population of capable students who are exam-ready but career-blind.
The Solution
Propeida is a free JAMB and Post-UTME prep platform built around a simple idea: practice and discovery should live in the same product. It combines:
Timed CBT mock exams with recollected, hand-verified, and re-checked questions — built to mirror the real exam format and timing pressure
Performance tracking by subject, so students see exactly where they're weak
A career intelligence feed that shows, for any course, where it's in demand across sectors, what skills employers actually screen for, and what career paths it opens up
University-specific coverage (starting with UNILORIN, with more institutions rolling out) rather than a one-school tool
The product is deliberately framed as a journey — Prepare → Discover → Understand → Build → Move — rather than a single-purpose quiz app, which shapes both the UX flow and the onboarding narrative.
Design Decisions
Light, white UI instead of the dark dashboards common in edtech — the goal was to read as trustworthy, human-built software rather than a generic AI-generated SaaS template
Text-first, low-data design so a full mock exam is usable on a budget phone connection, which matters for the target user base
General-brand positioning: even though UNILORIN was the first fully supported school, the product and copy were deliberately kept school-agnostic to support multi-institution growth rather than getting anchored to one university's identity
Plain, non-robotic copy — avoiding the "engineered to..." AI-slop tone common in student-facing products
Technical Approach
Built solo on Next.js and Supabase, with Paystack for the optional Pro upgrade tier (a three-tier entitlement model gates advanced features while keeping core practice free). As a solo builder, I worked with AI coding agents for implementation while owning architecture, product strategy, and UX decisions myself.
Outcome
Propeida is live and growing organically, trusted by 250+ Nigerian students preparing for JAMB and Post-UTME so far, with UNILORIN mock exams live now and JAMB coverage rolling out next.

i stumbled on drt financial advisors while looking through businesses with outdated websites and couldn't stop thinking about how much trust they had built offline compared to what their website communicated
so i spent a few hours redesigning the homepage, keeping their existing brand intact but giving it the clarity, structure and confidence you'd expect from a firm people trust with their finances
my redesign vs the old version

I wanted to see how far I could push a service business website without making it feel overdesigned
Most HVAC websites all look the same so I spent more time thinking about trust than adding animations
Every section had a reason to exist from the climate savings calculator to the booking flow and testimonials because I wanted someone landing on the site to naturally feel confident enough to request a quote
Really enjoyed working on this one because it reminded me that good websites aren't loud they just make decisions feel easier
