Personal/side projects I've built from scratch
LogBots
In 2018 I created a follow-up system for a local logistics company.
In the website, developed with PHP, the user uploads an Excel spreadsheet with the shipments' info, the data is parsed and persisted in a MySQL database.
I also created an API (PHP) and a telegram bot (JavaScript/NodeJS) to interact with it. The truck drivers use the telegram bot to update the status of their deliveries.
This system is still in use today.
