Projects

Projects I’m building and sharing. Each gets its own write-up as it grows.

BrauzerLab — interactive Playwright trainer

A free, browser-based Playwright course in Azerbaijani. You write real Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript) in an in-browser editor, watch a simulated page react, and get instant pass/fail feedback — no install, no setup. I built the missions and the validation engine from scratch.

What’s inside:

50 hands-on missions across 7 progressive modules
Locators — roles, text, labels, test-ids, filters, and positional selectors (including Shadow DOM and dynamic IDs)
Actions & auto-waiting — clicks, typing, forms, drag-and-drop, plus reliable waits without flaky sleep
Assertions & strict mode — auto-waiting expect and clean handling of ambiguous locators
Network interception — block, mock, and stub requests with page.route
In-browser editor — CodeMirror-based, with a custom validation engine for instant feedback

Currently in Azerbaijani; an English version may follow.

Universal Appliances Repair — client website

A static marketing website I built for Universal Appliances Repair, an appliance repair service in Orange County, CA. It’s live in production and shows the testing-and-automation workflow I enjoy: every change ships through a PR gated by automated checks.

What’s inside:

Multi-page marketing site — home, services, about, contact, FAQ, testimonials, and a blog (hand-built HTML + Tailwind CSS, no framework, no build step)
Automated tests — an internal link checker and Puppeteer visual screenshot tests that must pass before any merge
PR-gated workflow — Husky pre-push hooks; no direct commits to master
Automated SEO content — Claude Code routines research, write, and publish 3 new local-SEO articles every Mon/Wed/Fri, plus a quarterly SEO audit that opens a fix-up PR

Built with HTML + Tailwind CSS.

SDET Interview Trainer

A practice app for QA and SDET interview prep. I’m getting ready for interviews and wanted a helper I could use anywhere — at my desk or on the go — so I built one and opened it up for anyone in the same spot.

What’s inside:

Daily Practice — a focused daily plan mixing coding, SQL, Playwright/Selenium, API/CI/AWS, and strategy questions
Coding Gym — QA-focused tasks to build coding confidence in Python and Java
Mock Interview — type an answer, reveal a model answer, and self-rate against a checklist
Progress tracking — completion metrics and a “weak topics” view across ~250 items

For now it runs without a backend, so it’s quick to use on desktop or mobile. It’s an early proof of concept — a starting point I’ll keep building on.

Study Quiz — exam prep from course materials

A local exam-prep helper I built for my nephew, a software-engineering master’s student in Italy. He’d tried NotebookLM to turn his lecture slides and lab handouts into useful practice quizzes and couldn’t get there — so I parsed the study materials and built a tool that does. It runs entirely on his machine and works as a blueprint he can adapt to any course.

What’s inside:

Document parsing — pulls structured content from PowerPoint (.pptx), Word (.docx), and PDF lecture/lab files in a course folder
Revision summaries — short topic recaps with cross-references between related lectures and labs
Quiz generation — deterministic, topic-focused multiple-choice questions, fully offline by default
Optional LLM mode — plug in an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for richer questions, with automatic fallback to local generation
Local web UI — take quizzes in the browser; optionally save results to CSV

Built with Python.

Grade 5 Math — interactive lessons & quizzes

A self-contained math app I built for my sister, a (non-technical) math and Russian-language tutor. She — or her students — can download it, unzip, and start it with a double-click; no command line. It covers the Grade 5 mathematics curriculum, in Russian.

What’s inside:

57 lessons across 8 chapters — explanations with visual examples
Tiered quizzes — easy / medium / hard / mixed, with per-mistake feedback
1,710 questions — 10 per tier per lesson, randomised each session
Made for non-technical use — double-click to launch; the script installs what it needs on first run, then opens in the browser
Tested — unit tests for the quiz logic plus end-to-end browser tests

Built with TypeScript and Next.js (Docker-ready).

Quiz Formatter — PDF-to-quiz study helper

A study helper I built for my niece, a student at UNEC (Azerbaijan) who studies in Russian — so the app is in Russian. Her course materials arrive as PDFs of questions with an answer key; this tool turns them into practice quizzes.

It’s tuned to the specific layout of those UNEC course PDFs — a study tool for that format rather than a general-purpose PDF parser, so other document layouts may need adjusting.

What’s inside:

PDF parsing — pulls questions and answer choices straight out of the course PDF
Configurable quizzes — randomized quizzes with a chosen number of questions (--count)
Instant grading — checks your answers and explains mistakes using the answer key embedded in the PDF
Saved results — keeps your attempt history between sessions
Runs anywhere — a terminal, a local web UI, or a standalone Windows .exe

Built with Python.

RMC Tow — towing company website

A small static marketing site I built and handed off for RMC Tow LLC, a towing and roadside-assistance business serving Corona and the Inland Empire, CA.

What’s inside:

Four pages — home, services, about, contact — hand-built in static HTML
Conversion-focused — prominent click-to-call CTA and a clear services breakdown (emergency towing, flatbed transport, roadside assistance)
Mobile-friendly + SEO basics — tel: links, sitemap, and robots.txt, ready to rank locally
