I had the opportunity to work on a comprehensive hub website for Hands Across Canberra, a charity organisation dedicated to supporting local causes. This project was a significant undertaking, as the site needed to serve as a central platform for community engagement, fundraising, and information sharing. Given its complexity, I focused on creating a user-friendly experience that would make it easy for donors, charities, and community members to connect and participate.

One of the biggest challenges was managing the sheer scale of the site. With so many moving parts, I had to ensure that everything functioned seamlessly while maintaining strong performance. A key feature I worked on was custom Lottie SVG animations, which added a dynamic, engaging touch to the website. These animations helped enhance the user experience, making interactions more visually appealing and intuitive.

I also developed a user sign-up and management system, allowing individuals and organisations to create accounts, manage profiles, and interact with the platform efficiently. Another critical aspect of the project was integrating a secure payment system to facilitate donations. Ensuring smooth, reliable, and safe transactions was a top priority, as it directly impacted the organisation’s ability to receive funding and support its initiatives.

Working on this project was incredibly rewarding, as it combined technical problem-solving with meaningful social impact. By delivering a powerful, feature-rich platform, I was able to help Hands Across Canberra strengthen its digital presence and better connect with supporters. It was a challenging but fulfilling experience, knowing that my work contributed to a cause that makes a real difference in the community.
