PHONETIC GUESSER	Guess the word from its phonetic transcription. Use hints with dictionary definitions to help!	This project began about three weeks into the School of Code. Initially, it wasn't designed as a formal project; rather, I simply wanted to experiment with some free APIs after learning how to make API calls using JavaScript. While examining the JSON response from a dictionary API, I noticed it included phonetics, which swiftly led to the creation of the basic concept for this game, where users are presented with a phonetic representation and must guess the corresponding word. Eager to avoid creating my own word database, I sought another API to automate the word generation process. Although this second API was not perfect due to compatibility issues between the two APIs, I managed to make it work. Additionally, this project became a valuable tool to implement and reinforce what I learned each week, helping to solidify my understanding and put my new skills into practice.

SECRET LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR	This project involves a system designed to streamline the process of decoding messages that are written in a secret language I created with a friend.	The main motivation for creating this project was the increasing amount of time it took to decode our growing encrypted chats. I wanted to continue enjoying the unique and private nature of our communication without the growing burden of manual decoding. By devising a secretive decoding method, I could maintain the enjoyment and pace of our conversations, ensuring that the fun of our secret language didn't turn into a chore. \|```_\|::\|_\|_\|\|```_\|```\|\|::*\|::_\|_::\|\|_\|_\|_\|```\|\|*\|_\|_\|_\|_\|```\|\|\|```_::\|_\|```\|\|```\|/\_\|\|::_\|*	JavaScript, CSS3, HTML5	✅ Completed

promptopia

This is a tutorial project, not my own creation. The goal is to further familiarise myself with additional Next.js concepts and features so that I have the ability to enhance the quality of my other Next.js applications. Additionally, I seek to determine if this method of learning will pay dividends.

red-metrics-api-observation

I developed a RESTful API using Node.js and Express.js to manage Todos, with a focus on implementing monitoring and metrics collection based on the RED method. I integrated Prometheus for metric collection and Grafana cloud for visualisation, ensuring high performance and reliability of the API.
