      Projects

      Tournado — Website Product Tours SaaS

      • End-to-end SaaS platform for building embeddable website product tours: Next.js 16 dashboard, Chrome Extension MV3, tour engine, and Cloudflare Worker delivery pipeline.
      • Managed 4 apps (Next.js 16 dashboard, Chrome Extension MV3, embed builder, Cloudflare Worker) and 2 shared packages in a pnpm + Turbo monorepo with a parallelized build pipeline.
      • Cloudflare Worker pipeline: API key auth → origin allowlist → rate limiting → KV cache → single HTTP response delivering JS embed + JSON config; MD5-based automatic build-time cache invalidation.
      • Architected 3 independent auth surfaces: Better Auth (session/OAuth), API key, and origin whitelist — defense-in-depth security for human, machine, and embed consumers.
      • Shared the same tour engine source across React (dashboard/extension) and Preact alias (embed, <10 kB) runtimes — zero duplication, minimal bundle footprint.
      • Multi-tenant data model with Prisma 7 + PostgreSQL; Polar SDK for subscription/billing flows; Upstash Redis rate limiting layer.
      • Technologies: Typescript, Preact, TipTap, dnd-kit, Next.js, Prisma, Better Auth, Polar, PostgreSQL, Redis, Cloudflare Workers, Turborepo, Chrome Extension

      Skelenest — NestJS Scaffolding CLI

      • TypeScript NestJS scaffolding CLI: interactive flows with Commander + @clack/prompts, EJS + tsup for templating and shipping a binary; blueprint/contributor templates for Standard, Clean Architecture, and DDD + Clean.
      • Optional stack wiring: Prisma, TypeORM, or Sequelize; plus Docker, Redis, BullMQ, Swagger, Throttler, and an auth starter when selected.
      • Architecture-aware generators for modules, CRUD resources, DTOs, and use cases; persisted `.skelenest/project.json` so later runs match the chosen stack.
      • Doctor command validates layout, dependencies, env, and ORM/feature wiring; build and verification scripts exercise init and generator workflows.
      • Technologies: Typescript, Jest, Node.js, Prisma, NestJS, BullMQ, Redis, Docker

      Mind Whisper

      • Integrated OAuth 2.0 to deliver secure authentication and low-friction social login flows.
