Hello, my name is

Franklin,

I am a Computer Science Student

Passionate software Developer with a Creative Edge

Driven by curiosity and a desire for change, I made the bold decision to go on an exchange program in Ireland, fuelled by my desire to study abroad and reshape my career path. I found my love for coding and computer technology thanks to my natural creativity and strong problem-solving abilities. Throughout my degree, I have explored various modules and embraced self-study to expand my knowledge.

About Me

I embarked on my coding journey as a naive computer science student with absolutely no prior experience or knowledge. During my first year, I often considered giving up due to the overwhelming number of tools, software, and projects available out there.


Entering my second year in the bachelor’s degree program in computer science and information technology, I decided to take matters into my own hands and leverage my skills. As an international student studying abroad, staying organized was crucial to my success. So, I created a set of impressive spreadsheets that served a dual purpose: helping me manage my expenses and organizing my studies as well as my personal life, which later on gave me the brainstorm to creating this project.


Inspired by the effectiveness of my spreadsheets, I came up with an idea to expand their utility. I envisioned creating personal projects based on these spreadsheets that could be shared with fellow international students facing similar challenges. By transforming my spreadsheets into practical tools, I aimed to provide valuable resources to others navigating life abroad.


Since more than half of my classmates at college are from abroad, my goal has been to provide practical resources and support for international students such as guiding them on how to be more organized, adjusting taxes on Revenue and so forth.


Then, the most effective way for doing it so was to explore the web development field and its features such as learning HTML, CSS and Java Script, which later, became my motivation. I'm truly passionate about creating impactful projects that benefit this community.


Since then, I've pushed myself to enter the industry as a front-end developer through internships, showcasing my personal projects. Despite the challenges of being a beginner, and as I am a self-taught English student. I've always believed in the possibility of success. Now, I'm ready to embrace discomfort once more and pursue my goals to become a Developer.

I am in the process of creating a Java-based tax calculator with a singular mission: to assist foreign students, including myself, in navigating the complexities of taxation. Over the years, I've personally faced the burden of taxation without a clear understanding of the system. Along my journey, I embarked on a pursuit of knowledge, earning a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Information Technology.

During this educational journey, I undertook various small projects as part of my college coursework. In 2022, an idea was born - the concept of developing an application that could serve as a guiding light for those in need of tax assistance.

This project fills me with excitement and optimism. While there is work yet to be done, I am committed to bringing this tool to fruition. Stay tuned for its forthcoming release! - Franklin Close

Building this portfolio entirely on my own has not only equipped me with valuable skills but has also provided an exceptional opportunity to apply and extend my knowledge while continually challenging myself.

It serves as a platform for showcasing mydedication and efforts, where I can proudly display a collection of my other projects. While I have not yet completed it, I am determined and well on my way to its completion.

I am genuinely pleasedwith the current results and the portfolio's simplicity, which manages to strike a balance between elegance and functionality. However, I am committed to pushing my boundaries even further, immersing myself in coding to further refine and enhance my skills. Close

Credential keeper App

As the purpose of this app is to exclusively store credentials along with Website name (subject) and credentials used for that access. That means I want to only store password and information such as the name of that password subject belongs to like, Exclusive storage of credentials with a local database.

It will have internal memory, so other people can download it and use it on their desktops as well as I do. The app is going to be independently.

The reason behind is that I do not feel comfortable saving passwords online even using excel for it. So I came up with the idea of developing my own app for personal purposes only, also, being able to expand and share with those who wants to use it. Close
