Personal Project
Premier League Prediction Game
2023
August 2024
Project Overview
"Ballerr" is a dynamic and immersive web application designed to enhance the Premier League experience. Built entirely from scratch, from conceptualisation to design and development, the platform integrates a Next.js frontend with a Java Spring backend, offering users engaging gameplay alongside real-time, up-to-the-minute Premier League scores. The backend is powered by Java Spring, utilising external APIs to provide accurate Premier League data, while the frontend employs Next.js and Material UI to deliver a sleek and responsive interface. Secure authentication is ensured through the integration of Auth0.
Following rigorous testing towards the tail end of the 2023 season, I launched Ballerr in August 2024. I am actively growing the community through an organic marketing strategy. By leveraging an X (formally known as Twitter) profile that shares engaging football content and directs users to Ballerr, I aim to build a dedicated user base. This project has significantly expanded my skill set, providing valuable insights into full end-to-end web development, from backend API integration to frontend user experience, and the challenges of scaling an interactive application. 🚀
