Jumpmaster, Simple Web Builder
Independent Developer
December 2025
Jumpmaster is a prototype web builder, an experimental project. Two major systems were implemented: the web builder system and the advertising bidding system. The web builder allows users to build a jumpscare prank website hosted by Jumpmaster without any coding, and the advertising bidding system allows users to bid for advertising spots on Jumpmaster-hosted sites using an in-platform currency. The purpose of this website is to retrieve data and evaluate advertising behaviours.
DotWebsHosting, Cloud Hosting Platform
Independent Developer
October 2024
DotWebsHosting is a cloud hosting platform. Instead of using a pre-built panel like CPanel, it uses a self-developed panel, DotWebsPanel, providing the cleanest and smoothest web hosting experience. It was also one of the flagship projects I was proud of, as the effort was considerable.
Ignore the "DoWebsPanel v1.0" typo, please.

Banding—
Estimated Next Banding—
Automatic Banding Estimation Visualizer
1. Retrieve Data
Plain HTML data is retrieved from This Website
2. Sorting
Finding data with a pattern such as 1A, 1B-1A. Basically, historical banding.
3. Denoise
Taking out all the non-banding data by comparing them one by one with an array table.
4. Convert
Converting every item to a numerical value.
5. Weight
Since we have the smallest portion of band 1 schools (10%), the biggest portion of band 2 schools (40%), and a decent portion of band 3 schools (30%), we weight them according to their rarity. Score * 0.9 (Hardest to reach) for band 1 schools, Score * 0.6 for band 2 schools, and Score * 0.7 for band 3 schools.
6. Calculation
Dividing the total score to the number of items.
7. Result
8. Categorized
Sorting using colors, green to band 1, yellow for band 2, and red for band 3.
9. Addition
Of course, this is not particularly meaningful, considering that some schools are more A-level or IB-oriented. They might be band 3, but overall, they are better than many schools. Therefore, take the estimation process and result as a demonstration of computational calculation.
