MERN & Python developer building real-time web apps
A collaborative project management app, like a mini Trello or Linear, built with the MERN stack. Teams can create projects and tasks, set priorities, assign teammates, and track progress from a live dashboard with status distribution, priority breakdown, and completion percentage. Real-time updates are handled with Socket.io (http://Socket.io), and it includes secure authentication, search and filters, reports, and a dark mode. Built a B2B marketplace for scrap-lead trading, with separate Operator and Vendor portals behind one login. The Operator portal has a live dashboard showing total spend, active orders, and monthly purchase volume. It also has vendor registration and management, order tracking, and in-app messaging where deals and counter-offers are negotiated. Security includes TOTP two-factor authentication, and file uploads go through presigned S3 URLs. All data comes from the database through backend APIs, with no hardcoded values.
