Report Wireframing Tool
I built this tool to allow quick and easy wireframes to be built, formatted and exported, streamlining a key stage in BI development workflows. There are many such products on the market, but I created a point of difference by allowing corporate livery to be loaded in at a click, and customisable UI elements that…

Reading Progress Component
Ever seen a website where it shows you how far you have read through it’s content, by having a small progress bar somewhere? This is possible in Power Apps, through the use of a gallery and some timers. On our canvas we have two timers: The first is running constantly in the background, waiting for…

Power Apps Wordle
Wordle is a great challenge for the Power Apps creator (in fact, any developer) as it is a very simple game that can be rebuilt in a matter of hours. As such, it’s a fun mini-project that demonstrates the benefits of approaching a project in a structured way and establishing clean logic. Initialisation On the…

This is a large app that I built to handle employee feedback across an entire division of a large company. The objective was to provide a smooth experience for employees to submit and monitor feedback, and book themselves on available listening groups.

Self-Serve Extract Builder
This is a concept I made to enable users to self-serve an extract from a Power BI semantic model, in the same way certain tools sit on top of a database and provide a drag-and-drop interface to process big data into extracts for onward analysis. I wanted to see if an intuitive interface could be…

Side Scrolling Platformer
Just a little fund side-project, trying to create an ‘endless runner’-type game in Power Apps. The game relies on several background layers attached to a timer to create a parallax effect to add depth and motion: The timer can be ‘sped up’ to increase the speed of the game, and by extension the difficulty. This…

Flappy Bird
It’s everyone’s favourite reaction-based mobile game, rebuilt in Power Apps! This makes use of parallax scrolling, as demonstrated in my side scrolling endless runner game, but works in some more animation control of the avatar/bird which wants to constantly fall to the bottom of the screen. Watch the video below to see my setup. I…
