I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.

Method OS
Sole architect of a multi-tenant ITSM/PSA platform built from scratch to replace five fragmented internal tools. Designed a polymorphic work-item schema, immutable versioned proposals, and in-database duplicate detection with skills-based ticket routing — all on a Postgres layer built to scale.

Global Advance CRM
I led the redesign of a CRM platform using Nuxt.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, SSR, and Node. Leading a team of three developers, I ensured smooth progress with regular scrum meetings. The redesign improved user-friendliness and efficiency, leveraging TypeScript for type safety and SSR for fast loading.

NextLevelFan
I led the redesign of a B2B Small Events Platform using Ruby on Rails, React, HTML, CSS, and SASS. I facilitated scrum meetings to ensure the project met requirements and progressed smoothly. By writing reusable components, I reduced unnecessary code by 20%, improving maintainability and performance.

Tourvast
I led a team of two developers to build a real estate photographers business solution using Vue.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, SASS, and Node. I facilitated scrum meetings to ensure the project met requirements and progressed smoothly. The application was completed on time and within budget, and the product owner was very satisfied with the results.

Fellowship Church
I led a team to migrate Fellowship Church’s legacy application to a new platform using Next.js, Sanity CMS, GraphQL, and Node. Collaborating with designers, we created a modern, user-friendly website and reduced its size by 30% with reusable components. The project was completed on time and within budget, resulting in a more responsive and efficient website that users appreciated.
