Library Management System | MERN Stack Web Application
Description
Developed a full-stack Library Management System to simplify book management, borrowing, and user administration for educational institutions.
The application provides separate dashboards for librarians and students with secure authentication and an intuitive user experience.
Key Features:
• Secure user authentication using JWT
• Role-based access (Admin/Librarian & Student)
• Add, edit, delete, and manage books
• Book borrowing and return system
• Search books by title, author, or ISBN
• Google Books API integration for automatic book details
• User dashboard with issued books and borrowing history
• Responsive design for desktop and mobile devices
• RESTful API architecture
• Secure backend with MongoDB and Express.js
This project demonstrates my expertise in building scalable full-stack web applications, implementing authentication, integrating third-party APIs, and designing efficient database-driven systems.
Designed and developed ClubTree, a SaaS platform that helps membership organizations manage their websites, members, events, and communications from one centralized system.
ClubTree combines a public-facing website with an administrative dashboard, giving organizations the tools to manage membership applications, member directories, attendance, newsletters, documents, and organizational workflows.
The platform was designed around real-world service club needs, with an emphasis on intuitive navigation, role-based access, and simplifying administrative tasks.
My role: Product strategy, user research, UI/UX design, full-stack development, testing, and launch.
Key features:
- Membership applications and directories
- Event and attendance management
- Website content management
- Newsletters and member communications
- Role-based access and administrative dashboards
- Integrated organizational workflows
Outcome: A functional membership management platform with a live implementation for the Rotary Club of Charlottesville.
Going live with one real club in Charlottesville and building around how they actually run is the right way to do it. Club admin tools usually feel stuck in 2010, so this looks like a big upgrade. How did you land them, through someone in the club?
UI/UX design for a two-sided service marketplace. Clients post jobs and compare bids, while pros find work, write stronger bids and manage finances, team and portfolio in one place.
Overview:
Bidyard is a job bidding marketplace for local services like plumbing, electrical, HVAC and cleaning. Businesses post a job with a budget, service providers send bids, and the client compares them and hires the right pro. I designed both sides of the product and built a working interactive prototype.
The problem
Clients collect quotes over calls and messages that are hard to compare
It is hard to tell which pro is reliable before hiring
Providers waste time on jobs that don’t fit and guess at pricing
Their money, reviews, team and portfolio live in different places
Goals
Post a clear job in a few minutes
Compare bids on more than just price
Help providers find the right jobs and write better bids
Give providers one place to run their business
My role
Product design, UX, UI, design system, interactive prototype and motion
What I designed
