Key Features
Real-time messaging using Socket.IO
Audio/video communication integration using Jitsi
File and media upload functionality using Multer
Scalable media storage using AWS S3
Database management using MongoDB and Sequelize
Search and data discovery using Elasticsearch
Real-time event handling and communication
Backend APIs for application functionality and user interactions
Technology Stack
Node.js · Socket.IO · MongoDB · Sequelize · Elasticsearch · Jitsi · Multer · AWS S3 · REST APIs
The project provided hands-on experience in building real-time backend systems, multimedia applications, cloud-based storage, search infrastructure, and scalable API architectures.

Verdea — Network Marketing Team Dashboard
Self-initiated build for my own network marketing team — a distributor back-office covering PV/rank tracking, downline hierarchy, prospect CRM, incentive programs, and team messaging in one place. Built to replace the spreadsheet-and-WhatsApp workflow most teams run on. Fully interactive prototype with role-based views (Distributor, Manager, Admin).
Super clean dashboard design and great feature set for network tracking!
Got a powerful app idea that gamifies real-world experiences? Let’s turn it into a custom mobile app.
A clunky user experience kills engagement fast. Your users deserve an app that is lightning-fast, intuitive, and built to perform seamlessly across both iOS and Android.

Think Pokémon GO meets iNaturalist, a gamified wildlife exploration and instant AI identification mobile app.
Users snap a photo of nature or wildlife to instantly trigger real-time AI species identification, "capture" finds into a personal digital collection, level up through a dynamic rarity system (from Common to Legendary), and compete on a global leaderboard.
It transforms passive outdoor education and exploration into an addictive, highly engaging digital ecosystem that drives long-term user retention and brand loyalty.

This was super fun to build! What do you all think? :)
Evox PropertyOps (Phase 1) is the foundational MVP for a modern property management ecosystem, built on top of an existing agent-API marketplace. It features a protected tRPC dashboard that allows authenticated users to manage properties, track tasks, upload evidence, and process expenses with human-in-the-loop approval workflows. Designed for high-speed deterministic demos, this first slice establishes the core domain logic and UI, laying the groundwork for a scalable, multi-tenant architecture using Drizzle and MySQL.
The approval step is the part I'd make visible in the demo. Show the expense, the evidence behind it, and exactly what changes after approval, so people can see the guardrail instead of taking it on faith.
