Custom Marketplace Platform
Built a marketplace platform from scratch — custom matching, payments, and admin tooling for a fast-growing vertical market.
The Challenge
The client needed a marketplace that couldn't be solved with off-the-shelf tools. They required custom matching logic, escrow payments, and a full admin backend — all built from zero.
The Solution
I designed and built the full platform from scratch: a Next.js frontend, Node.js backend with custom matching algorithms, Stripe Connect for escrow payments, and a comprehensive admin dashboard.
Key Results
- Launched MVP in 10 weeks
- Custom matching algorithm with 95%+ relevance
- Fully integrated escrow payment flow
