Project Overview
Vanguard & Sterling LLP is an elite corporate defense and appellate litigation practice operating in high-stakes venues, including the Delaware Court of Chancery and the U.S. Federal Courts.
The objective was to transcend conventional corporate legal websites by creating an ultra-luxury sovereign web presence coupled with an authenticated Executive Portal Enclave. The platform provides clients, general counsels, and senior partners with real-time court docket synchronization, conflict-of-interest clearance screening, an FRCP 26(b)(3) privileged document vault, and an ABA Model Rule 1.15-compliant IOLTA fiduciary trust ledger.
The Challenge
Generic Industry Norms: Traditional law firm websites feel sterile, outdated, and template-driven, failing to project the prestige and authority required for multi-billion-dollar corporate disputes.
Dual-Sided Architecture: The platform needed to serve two distinct audiences: prospective Fortune 500 corporate clients seeking counsel, and authenticated enterprise clients/partners accessing privileged litigation work product.
Complex Compliance & Data Handling: Legal-grade compliance demands: strict ABA Model Rules 1.6 (Confidentiality), 1.7–1.10 (Conflicts of Interest), and 1.15 (Trust Accounting) workflows with segregated access controls.
The Solution & Deliverables
Bespoke Sovereign Design System Visual Aesthetic: Tailored obsidian dark mode palette (#060A14, #0A1224), brushed champagne and royal gold accents (#B89552, #DFC080), and polished marble glassmorphism (backdrop-filter: blur(16px)).
Institutional Typography: Classical stone-carved judicial serif (Cinzel) paired with contemporary structural sans-serif (Plus Jakarta Sans) and editorial body type (Cormorant Garamond). Interactive Micro-Interactions: Real-time ticker feeds, responsive chamber locator maps across Wilmington, Washington D.C., New York, and London, and zero-flicker glass modals.
Executive Portal & Sovereign CMS Modules Engineered an administrative control suite natively inside WordPress without relying on bloated third-party plugins:
Certified Litigation Dockets (vg_matter): Chronological procedural histories with PACER docket numbers, presiding judge assignments, and hearing schedules.
IOLTA Trust Ledger & Statements (vg_invoice): Complete fiduciary trust accounting engine tracking escrow balances, monthly legal fee drawdowns, itemized hours/disbursements, and instant PDF generation.
Conflict Clearance Desk (vg_conflict): Real-time conflict checking mechanism with SLA response countdowns, adverse party tracking, and ethical wall sequestration directives.
Privileged Document Vault (vg_vault_doc): Work-product classification system featuring SHA-256 cryptographic digests, audit logs, and encrypted access gates.
3. Custom In-Dashboard Dossier Experience
Built an in-dashboard dossier view (vanguard-portal-view) that eliminates public website headers and footers during administrative reviews while preserving the full WordPress CMS sidebar and top bar.
Custom architectural twilight rendering on wp-login.php with frosted glass container cards and glowing focus states.

My role. Full Stack Spring Boot Developer
Project description.
Developed a web application for RedLine Fire Station to manage firefighters’ gear inspection, maintenance, and repair records efficiently. Built with React, Spring Boot, and MySQL, featuring admin dashboards, real-time tracking, and secure data management. Delivered a robust, user-friendly system that streamlined gear management, improved accountability, and ensured operational readiness. Built a full-stack clinic management and appointment booking platform for a multidisciplinary healthcare clinic using Laravel and Livewire. The system handles the complete patient journey — multi-clinician appointment booking, live slot availability, consent forms, clinical notes, prescriptions, pharmacy inventory, invoicing, payments, and video consultations. I also integrated Google Calendar, Zoom, e-signatures, multiple payment gateways, and multilingual support across 11 languages. Alma Collective, a fitness booking platform for the Greek market, was stuck: half-built by a previous developer, unstable, and nowhere near launch-ready.
I took over the codebase, stabilized it, completed the missing core flows, and carried it to public launch across web and mobile (React Native).
