Full Sales CRM Built from Scratch

A full sales CRM designed and developed from scratch for a business that needed complete control over their pipeline without relying on off-the-shelf tools.

Live dashboard with real-time metrics and visual summaries

Deal pipeline with drag-and-drop stage management

Contact management with full activity history per record

Activity feed tracking every interaction across the system

Reporting with filterable views and exportable data

Role-based access control so different team members see only what they need

The client had outgrown spreadsheets but didn't want to pay for a bloated SaaS CRM that would need months of configuration. They needed something purpose-built for their sales workflow, nothing more, nothing less.

I handled the full stack: database architecture in PostgreSQL, backend API in Node.js, and a React frontend with responsive design across devices. Every feature maps directly to how the team actually works, not how a generic CRM thinks they should.

React with TypeScript for the frontend

Node.js for the backend API

PostgreSQL for the relational database

Session-based auth with role-based permissions

The team replaced a patchwork of spreadsheets and a HubSpot subscription they were barely using with a single system that mirrors their actual sales process. Every screen exists because someone on the team needed it, not because a product manager at a SaaS company decided it should be there.
