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.
