Built SecureGate — a hardened, standalone authentication engine I designed and shipped end-to-end.

Stack: Next.js 14, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Upstash Redis

What it handles: 🔐 Credentials flow — bcrypt hashing + JWT session state 🔑 Password reset — tokenized, time boxed, enumeration-protected ✉️ Email verification — one-time tokens, 15-min expiry 🛡️ Hardened middleware — signed cookies + rate-limiting

Went from concept → full design system → working build, solo. Auth is one of those things that looks simple until you actually have to secure it properly this was a fun one to get right. https://secure-gate-cyan.vercel.app/

Open to UI/UX and product design work if this is your kind of build 👇
