Fix issues with native Java Android app and redeploy to Google Play

System: "SuperGraph" Native Android App

Client: John Adams Ltd.

Technologies: Java, Android, XML

Problem: The app had been removed from the Google Play Store due to a reported stability issue. There were also problems with accessibility of some buttons on smaller screens.

Solution: Several minor fixes were implemented including build parameter and file format updates, and layouts were corrected to make missing buttons visible on smaller screens. Updates were tested on multiple emulators using Android Studio. The app was successfully redeployed to the Google Play Store, and a report produced detailing the changes.

Assembler's Factory Floor Time-Tracking App

System: Assembler's Factory Floor Time-Tracking App

Client: Whippendell Marine

Technologies: Raku, CRO, Template::Nest, jQuery, CSS, MySQL

Problem: Create an application that interfaces with the company's existing Teamwork-based project management system and enables assemblers to log time spent on jobs - with design according to client spec.

Solution: A set of "Element" modules were created in Raku which inherited from a base module responsible for making calls to the Teamwork API. Syncing of local application data was accomplished with an independent daemon looping over and caching necessary user and project information in a MySQL database. Server-side rendering created dynamic content with Template::Nest, and the front end assembled HTML chunks delivered from the backend with jQuery. The system was designed to be deployed to Android-based tablet as a PWA app.

Novel LLM-based Analytic System to Support Asset Price Prediction

System: Specific details are protected by NDA. However, this system - developed over a number of years - involved creation of a unique architecture utilising LLM technology in a novel way.

Client: NDA Protected

Technologies: Llama3-70B (and other LLM and ML models), vLLM, Python, Transformers, Algorithms

Problem: NDA Protected - but relates to asset price prediction

Solution: The innovative approach involved making an analogy between the "fuzzy" system we needed to model, and certain more rigorously defined mathematical/physical systems. Specific details are NDA protected. For the implementation we took advantage of per-hour cloud GPU rental to perform the necessary heavy processing as cost-efficiently as possible.
