FarmFresh is a streamlined platform designed to bring farmers and consumers together with full transparency. Farmers can manage a dedicated dashboard where they add products, update prices, upload details, and share availability in real time.
Consumers get a clear view of each product, including descriptions, pricing, farmer information, and live location on an interactive map. This creates a direct, trust-based buying experience and supports local agriculture.
FarmFresh makes it easy for farmers to reach more customers and for consumers to access fresh, reliable, and locally sourced products.

Built and maintained end-to-end features spanning backend and frontend โ from Django REST Framework APIs and PostgreSQL database design to React/Redux (with Redux-Saga) interfaces for reporting, payments, dispatch tracking, and certificate management. Owned the full deployment pipeline on AWS, including EC2 server management and production releases, as well as day-to-day database administration. Worked independently across the stack, handling everything from feature architecture to live infrastructure, while maintaining strict data integrity and role-based access appropriate for a healthcare compliance platform.
