Turning raw API data into interactive insights. 📊✨
Here is a look at a GitHub User Search application I built. It integrates directly with the GitHub API to fetch real-time profile metrics, repository data, and follower networks. I implemented secure OAuth authentication for frictionless login and utilized dynamic charting libraries to visually break down a developer's most used languages, starred repos, and top-forked projects. A great showcase of API integration, state management, and data visualization! 💻🚀
The data visualization here is incredibly clean! The dashboard layout makes the GitHub stats so much easier to digest than the native site. Really great UI work here.
Currently deep into the development phase, engineering a specialized, high-utility SaaS tool designed to solve a major operational bottleneck for digital agencies. Keeping the exact feature details under wraps for now while everything comes together.
Excited to share the final result soon! 🔥
The First Seed
A one-take AI short film created with Seedance 2.5 in CapCut Video Studio.
What if something as small as planting a single seed could become bigger than the person who planted it?
The First Seed follows a young girl who plants a tiny seed in her garden. Without realizing it, that small moment becomes the beginning of a journey through decades, generations, cities, nature, and eventually beyond Earth.
The entire film is designed as one continuous camera journey. The camera physically moves through the world as the story evolves, using natural transitions through leaves, branches, environments, and scale to carry the viewer from childhood to old age and finally into the future.
The visual idea was intentionally built around contrast: something incredibly small becoming something impossibly large.
For the visual development stage, I also used Gemini to generate and explore some reference imagery that helped establish the characters, environments, and overall visual direction. The final film generation and one-take workflow were created in CapCut Video Studio using Seedance 2.5.
The film is ultimately about one simple idea:
Nothing beautiful starts big.
Workflow
