I spearheaded the development of Sanyas.ca, a comprehensive mental health resource platform serving healthcare professionals and the general public across Canada. I designed and implemented a scalable web application using React and Node.js, incorporating an interactive directory of mental health services, real-time appointment scheduling, and secure patient-provider communication channels.

Working with a cross-functional team of five developers and three UX designers, I delivered the platform within a six-month timeline. I integrated multiple healthcare provider databases and implemented HIPAA-compliant data protection measures. Since its launch, the platform has grown to serve over 50,000 monthly active users and has facilitated more than 75,000 mental health consultations.

I led the development of an app that serves as a comprehensive platform for managing Magic: The Gathering collections. I designed and implemented core features, including mobile card scanning, real-time price tracking across multiple marketplaces, and detailed collection analytics. The app integrates with the TCGplayer API for accurate pricing and Card Kingdom for buylist comparisons.

To enhance usability, I built advanced filtering and sorting capabilities, enabling users to manage collections of over 10,000 cards efficiently. I also developed a responsive web application using React and Node.js, ensuring a seamless user experience. Within the first quarter of launch, the app received 98% positive feedback and achieved 45% month-over-month growth. Additionally, I optimized database queries and implemented caching strategies, reducing average page load times by 65%.

I designed and deployed a comprehensive rewards-tracking platform that aggregated real-time sales metrics and commission data across the organization. I developed an interactive dashboard to showcase individual and team performance, driving a 27% increase in sales productivity and a 35% improvement in delivery completion rates. By implementing gamification elements, I boosted employee engagement by 42% and reduced turnover by 15%. I also integrated automated commission calculations and reporting features, cutting payroll processing time by 60% and eliminating calculation errors. The platform processed over 50,000 transactions monthly and became a vital tool for performance management and team motivation.
