Latest Experiments –
Air Quality Pollution Dashboard Portal
Screenshot of my latest experimenting to display average Air Quality pollution, pollutants, and brief historical data, using Django, React, Node.js, and Python, and Materials UI template.
It was made possible with cities API, coordinates API, and Open AQ, to search nearest sensors and return data. I had to research a little about the units, pollutants, and with the thanks to using AI search, I came across formulas and framework of functions to calculate. It was much complicated than anticipated, but managed to get some features down!
Project and features are working progress and I hope to display a link to the
Figma/Figjam
I’ve always been interested in UI/UX, and drew on paper rough wireframes, before building websites and components. My work has been mostly web applications since, but still had to design them to demo. I was wondering how the pros did it, so I followed an online Figma tutorial; Figjam for the wireframe, and Figma for the prototype and mockup. I had a fairly new HUION drawing tablet (which works as an extended monitor too), that I haven’t used much for drawing yet with the pen stylus, so wireframe was a bit sloppy, but not that bad for the first time. I had an old Bamboo that didn’t have a display, which was more difficult to use. Turns out Figma and Figjam is very similar to “Photoshop” and having used various graphic editors, it was very easy to pick up.

Other Interests: Photography
I took big interest in photography years ago. This may be good news for clients, because I can provide much better graphics and additional web services. Band shots became one of my favorite, because of the lights, the scene, and the music. I also shoot great Travel, outdoor events, pets photography which was sold at stock sites, and Automobiles, (including a car I sold). For more, please see Photography.
Food
Right before the pandemic, I had a few first time gigs for Snapwire’s client, a food delivery platform, Doordash, who which had strict guidelines to follow. Each project requires an approval process that if accepted, artist gets paid. If not, at least we have food!
Bands
But I have to say that Bands are the most challenging, because of the low lighting, constant movement of the rocking musicians, lights, and audience. My particular lens kit technically aren’t made for that, but it forced me to master shooting and utilize whatever little light I have (with minimal flash and without any external flash kits for years).
