Bulgaria Interactive Map
Dynamic, educational web platform helping people learn bulgarian history.
In this project I significantly improved my front-end capabilities, along with learning to work with and create custom design images & vector files. I have built custom designs of the bulgarian maps throughout the centuries.
APPartment: Home Management System
At start, Entity Framework Core with code first approach was used, then I migrated to database first, later on EF Core was entirely removed and I developed my own custom object-relational mapping framework.
The project was also initially started with a MVC architecture, with all the business logic implemented in the controller levels. After which, a new Web API project was initialized with a proper business layer where the business logic was migrated. The MVC project send requests to the API and retrieved responses in the form of view-models to display in its views.
This was incomplete and the MVC architecture was redundant, having to support its controllers (only to make calls to the API). I implemented a new web client, under the hood of Blazor, using latest (up-to-that-point) .NET 5.
