LaymanMax — Building a live gaming platform
I developed LaymanMax for a YouTuber and gaming creator. It is a large gaming platform for players, teams, challenges, tournaments, giveaways, wallets, and live match activity.
I built the frontend application, including the home page, leaderboard, player pages, playlists, tournaments, giveaways, user profiles, settings, blog, wallet, account verification, team and clan registration, and challenge flows. This included creating, accepting, and cancelling challenges, along with screens for live match records.
The platform supported live challenge updates during LaymanMax YouTube streams, where the displayed information needed to be accurate in real time.
This was my first project with a large number of backend APIs. I built custom Node.js APIs with Firebase Cloud Functions for challenges, teams, giveaways, and other platform features. The challenge system involved detailed JSON data and several states that needed to work correctly for both players and teams.
I also integrated YouTube APIs. For fan points based on YouTube videos, the project required additional Google access, so I recorded videos explaining the authentication flow and the permissions needed for approval.
I worked alongside a junior developer, reviewing code while building my own parts of the application. The fast schedule made quality control challenging, but it taught me a lot about collaboration, code review, and building reliable features under pressure.

Coming-soon landing page design & development for Peak.
Most coming-soon pages just say "soon". I wanted this one to show the whole product. 🚀 🚀 🚀
gopeak.design is the coming-soon site for Peak, an all-in-one WordPress plugin: a visual builder, a motion engine, a CMS and a design system.
The stage
Instead of screenshots, the middle of the page plays the product: 9 features, 43 scenes, 325 frames. I designed every frame in Figma, then built a Figma-to-code pipeline and a React scene engine to play them. Elements morph from frame to frame while the pointer clicks, drags, types and scrolls. All of it is live HTML and CSS, not video, with its own player and speed control.
The details
• The page opens on the Peak mark filled with a liquid WebGL shader that stirs as you move your cursor.
• A waitlist that catches email typos, checks for bots with Cloudflare Turnstile, and sends branded emails.
• A live demo of the real builder, opened by a magic link: a WordPress sandbox where every change is rolled back.
• Desktop, tablet and phone, each designed in Figma first.
The look carries over from the Peak brand identity I shared a few days ago: Parchment and Carbon, Neue Montreal and its Mono, fine hairlines, and Ember used only as a signal.
Stack: Figma · Next.js · React · Claude Code · Tailwind CSS · WebGL · Supabase · Resend · Vercel · Cloudflare · WordPress

I'm focusing on flexible field selection, local document processing, and handling different PDF layouts.
