## Projects
### Fluid — Generative Noise Algorithm Visualiser
Status: Live · Solo, end-to-end
URL: https://fluid.stevemartin.dev
An interactive generative art application that renders a real-time animated grid of dots on an HTML5 canvas, with motion driven by procedural noise algorithms. Built with Nuxt 3 and Vue 3, it lets users explore and export organic, flowing visual patterns by tuning parameters like grid density, dot scale, color blending, and animation speed — all updating live via a requestAnimationFrame render loop.
Technologies: Nuxt 3, Vue 3, Pinia, Tailwind CSS v4, Nuxt UI

### Logoviz — Automated Brand Exposure Analytics
Status: Discontinued · Solo — Final Year Project
A cloud platform that let brands quantify the value of product placement and sponsorship exposure. A user submitted a YouTube video URL and their logo; the platform analyzed the footage computer-vision-side to detect every appearance of the logo and surfaced measurable insights — largest on-screen size, total time on screen, a spatial heatmap of where it appeared, and a timeline of appearances — giving companies concrete data to judge whether the exposure they received matched what they paid for.
Technologies: Sails.js, Node.js, OpenCV, EJS, Google Cloud

### Nadestack — Digital Asset Portfolio Tracker
Status: Discontinued · Solo, end-to-end
A portfolio-tracking platform for Counter-Strike skins — cosmetic in-game items trading on an active secondary market estimated at $5B. It applied traditional investment-tracking concepts (buy price vs. current price, percentage gain/loss, trade volume) to this asset class, giving users a single dashboard to monitor the real-time value and performance of their skin inventory, alongside simple price-trend projections.
Technologies: Vue.js, Express, TypeScript, Supabase, Steam API
