Project History
Nececitas.com
An appointment scheduling startup app for service providers such as doctors or hairstylists, built with the JAM stack. A monorepo with several Next.js sub repos to handle the admin dashboard, client-side scheduling, and marketing website. All tied up with Firebase in the background.
Musi-co
A Gatsby.js project for a musical company. The company rents musical instruments through the website and offers other services such as music classes and courses for different instruments and musical disciplines.
Mounted on Netlify with some Lambda functions and no database. It uses Netlify-CMS as a CMS and Google Sheets as a database for which instruments are available.

Trinet.com
https://www.trinet.com/A Vue.js and Nuxt.js server-side rendered website with a headless CMS integration. The client needed to move their marketing website from a legacy jQuery site to something modern and fast. The stack was chosen by a client when I joined the project (through an agency). Most of the site is server-side rendered (thanks to nuxt.js). Worked on this project for more than a year, including first stages, launch, and maintenance.
