Hey, I'm Cătă!

What started as a hobby project to help a friend prepare for his paragliding exam turned into a full-fledged quiz application.

It features 1,000+ questions across 8 categories and includes a simulation mode that replicates the real exam experience.

On the technical side, my goals were to explore advanced animations with GSAP and build a fast, secure web application.

The app runs serverless on Vercel, with Next.js API routes ensuring sensitive data, like correct answers, remains hidden from the client.

This game was created as a learning exercise to explore WebRTC technology.

It's a multiplayer Pong game with a twist: players control their paddles using their phones. Two players compete in real-time, leveraging WebRTC for seamless multiplayer functionality.

The game was built using Phaser, a popular JavaScript game engine, providing a smooth and engaging gameplay experience.

Built as a learning exercise, this game was developed entirely from scratch, without relying on any game engine or library.

My goal was to explore running a high number of animations in the browser at a smooth 60 FPS, so I implemented it using low-level tools for maximum control and performance.

I used HTML Canvas as the rendering engine and built a custom game loop, collision detection, and animation system from the ground up.

One of the most exciting challenges was implementing the Bézier curve algorithm, which powers all the animations in the game.
