Overview

Desktop application built to track translation work (paid per record), automating logging, earnings calculation, and real-time productivity metrics. Designed to replace manual tracking and provide immediate feedback during work sessions.

Key Features

• Real-time tracking of records translated and earnings
• Session and sprint-based time tracking (start/stop workflow)
• Live productivity metrics including records per hour, average time per record, earnings per hour, total session time and earnings
• Automatic logging to Excel file
• Pre-structured Excel output for persistent record keeping

Technical Highlights

• Modular OOP architecture with clear separation of concerns
• Unidirectional data flow: UI triggers actions, actions update state/data, state notifies UI
• Observer-style pattern for UI updates via state subscriptions
• Timer system that tracks session, sprint, and per-record timing concurrently

Challenges Solved

• Maintaining accurate time-based metrics across overlapping timers (session vs sprint vs per-letter)
• Designing a clean interaction model between UI, state, and data layers
• Ensuring real-time stat updates without introducing inconsistency
• Handling Excel formatting and reliable append-based persistence

What This Demonstrates

• Ability to design clean, modular architectures in a desktop environment
• Strong understanding of state management and data flow patterns
• Practical application of automation to eliminate manual workflows
• Building tools tailored to actual user needs
