Experience
Hetrics
https://staging.hetrics.comThere are already over 47,000 hospital data gathered, and more are being added. There is also an effort to get every hospital onboard and pivot to building a full suite of health-focused applications for hospitals, pharmacies, health practitioners, and patients generally.
The product is still being built, but there is already a staging environment with mock data that could be accessed via the link provided below.
I work as the only front-end engineer while my partner works as the only back-end engineer on the project. The front end is built with Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, Material-UI, and React Query, and has full server-side rendering for better performance on low-powered devices and deployed via Docker to DigitalOcean. The back end is built with Go.
