Projects using Node.js in JohannesburgProjects using Node.js in JohannesburgA custom-built business operating system for a web design studio, designed to run the entire business from one place. Clients discover the studio on linteforge.com, fill out an onboarding form and their project automatically lands inside the internal dashboard without any manual input. From there the system handles the full client cycle: job discovery, proposal generation, quoting, contract sending, scope of work documents, invoicing, time tracking, and a client portal where clients can track their own project progress in real time.
The internal dashboard includes a job pipeline pulled from freelance platforms, a full CRM built from client activity, an income and expense tracker with monthly revenue stats and an automated document flow so nothing falls through the cracks. Every public-facing page (onboarding form, client portal) is accessible without a login while the internal system stays fully private and session-protected.
Built as a full-stack web application from scratch, designed around real business operations. A brand commercial for LintéForge showing a client's journey from a first DM to a live website in five days, told through the story of a bakery owner discovering the studio and getting her site built same-day. I wrote the script, directed the voiceover, and built every scene myself with animated iMessage bubbles, browser mockups, and a build-timeline sequence set to an original music bed in a teal-and-purple brand palette. Built entirely in code using React, Framer Motion, GSAP, and Three.js with no video editing software, ElevenLabs for the voiceover, and a custom-composed music track.
