Descensum

Few chosen SVG illustrations being a part of my art & design master's at the Pedagogical University of Cracow. Created with animating and interactivity in mind. Initially, I used pure CSS animations and vanilla JavaScript. Later on, I switched to GSAP to achieve greater browser compatibility and improve performance on lower-spec machines. Descensum explores topics such as pain, alienization, and toxicity of relations.

Rankmatic

This PHP website was a part of my bachelor thesis at Jagiellonian University. It allows users to design private or co-created rankings. There are quite a lot of JavaScript scripts going on to allow Ajax operations on the MySQL database, improve navigating via keyboard, etc. Present dragging actions utilize the Sortable function from jQuery UI library. CSS from scratch, as one does.

Simeio

Shop site created for one of my classes. Created with PHP and utilizing Silex micro-framework based on Symfony and a MySQL database. Templates were created with Twig. CSS from scratch, because it's fun that way. You can't actually buy anything there, but managing items sold there is fun.
