Projects

PHV Prep UK — iOS Exam Preparation App

Flutter / Dart / Firebase / Anthropic API - Solo project, live on the App Store

Designed, built and released a paid exam-preparation app for the Wolverhampton private hire vehicle (taxi badge) licensing test, covering 300+ practice questions, timed mock exams that mirror the real exam's pass logic, and an AI tutor for UK taxi law. Built solo with Flutter and Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, europe-west2). Security-focused throughout: server-side StoreKit 2 purchase verification, the Anthropic API key held in Secret Manager and never shipped in the client, Firestore rules locking premium status to the backend, and content-safety controls on the AI feature. The Android build is in Google Play closed testing, with launch expected 18 August 2026.

Yongchivo Tools — Cyber Security Micro-Tools

Astro / Tailwind / Cloudflare Workers - tools.yongchivo.com

Built and launched a hub of six free, bilingual (English/Spanish) cyber security tools. Four run entirely client-side — password generator, password strength analyser, subnet calculator and a cyber-role quiz — with two backed by Cloudflare Workers: a security headers checker with strict SSRF-safe URL validation, and a breach checker built on the XposedOrNot API. Deployed with automatic builds from GitHub and its own A-grade security headers.

File Converter — Private, In-Browser

JavaScript / WebAssembly / Astro - yongchivo.com/convert

Built a privacy-first file converter that runs entirely in the browser, so no file is ever uploaded. Converts images (PNG, JPG, WebP, and HEIC via the libheif WebAssembly build) and data formats (CSV, JSON, YAML, XML) in every direction, with drag-and-drop, batch conversion and graceful handling of malformed input. Bilingual (EN/ES) on a single reusable conversion engine.
