Mega Flashcards
UNLV Online
Description
I developed a custom SvelteKit application that enables staff to create interactive flashcard sets without technical expertise. The system allows users to upload CSV data and optional media files directly to AWS S3, automatically generating dynamic, engaging flashcards for online courses. Deployed on AWS Amplify, this solution streamlines educational content creation while empowering non-technical team members to produce professional learning materials independently.

Third Party Video Captioning
UNLV Online
Description
Public higher education institutions are mandated to provide accessible content, including human-verified captions for all educational videos. I developed a custom Fastify application that enables faculty to add compliant captions to third-party video content they don't own. Deployed on AWS App Runner, the system allows non-technical team members to upload caption files to S3, automatically generating new captioned video URLs. This solution streamlines accessibility compliance while empowering instructors to use essential external content in their courses.
