Foodies Only

FoodiesOnly is an interactive digital platform designed to bring together food enthusiasts, home chefs, and culinary experts. It allows users to explore authentic Indian cuisines, share recipes, read food blogs, and participate in interactive experiences like quizzes and cooking challenges.

As a Full Stack Developer, I architected and built the backend infrastructure and authentication system, ensuring a secure, scalable, and seamless user experience across the platform.

Developed and integrated SSO authentication using Google and Meta (Facebook) for frictionless login and onboarding.

Designed and deployed a high-performance backend using Node.js (Express.js, Prisma) with MongoDB for structured content and user data.

Implemented personalized content delivery, enabling users to view recipes and blogs based on preferences.

Built REST APIs for Recipes, Blogs, Festivals, and User Management with secure token-based access (JWT).

Created robust caching strategies to improve data access speeds and scalability.

Collaborated with the UI/UX team to optimize navigation and performance for better user retention.

Tech Stack: Next.js, Node.js, Express.js, Prisma ORM, MongoDB, JWT, OAuth2, REST API, Redis

Impact: 🍲 5,000+ recipes and blogs seamlessly integrated into a unified API-driven experience. ⚡ Enhanced login success rate by 95% through SSO integration. 💬 Increased engagement through personalized content recommendations and community features.

India’s diverse culinary culture lacked a digital-first community platform that connects food enthusiasts and home chefs under one roof. Existing recipe apps were either too commercial or lacked authentic community-driven experiences.

Goal: To create an all-in-one platform where users can:

Discover and share recipes

Read curated food blogs and festival stories

Join culinary quizzes and interactive learning experiences

Connect with other food lovers in a vibrant, trusted environment
