Experience

Affiliate Marketing Platform

Drawing upon ideas provided by my brother, I developed this system from scratch using PHP, MySQL, jQuery, and Bootstrap. It supported millions of transactions with more than US$60,000 of revenue was generated and was later acquired by another person.

I developed several functionalities including custom postbacks, auto fetching of offers from various affiliate networks, APIs, a custom chat system, a bespoke ticketing system, among others.

As I have an NDA, I'm unable to disclose the live URL or the name of the application.

eCommerce Application

I developed an eCommerce application based on the Figma designs provided by the client using Next.js (that has an SSR) and the client-requested CMS (Contentful API). For product and user management, I used the BigCommerce API and React Bootstrap for the UI.

Local Social Media App for a Residents' Association

I developed a social media-like app for a residents' association in React Native along with the accompanying API using PHP and MySQL. The app included a mix of Facebook's news feeds and various features, e.g., liking, an SOS alarm, and so on; it was much more functional than what this particular residents' association had in their WhatsApp group. It was also designed to be extremely user-friendly even to older generations, i.e., the elderly.

The SOS feature was especially useful. In case of medical emergencies or intruders, the app could be used to alert the neighbors and authorities and provide assistance.
