Full-Stack Web Engineering & Community Platforms
Social Media Platform bridges community social networking with structured workflow management. Built from scratch with the MERN stack, it features bcrypt password salting, JWT token authentication, and a dual-purpose architecture: an interactive social feed for publishing multimedia posts with likes and comments, alongside a collaborative task management board for teams. The user interface is engineered in React with Material-UI and Redux Toolkit state management.
A production-style full-stack community hub built with MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js, featuring secure JWT auth, media uploads with Multer, interactive posts, and collaborative task management.
CHALLENGE & ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTION
Handling synchronous social feeds and user-generated media uploads alongside structured task management in a single cohesive, high-performance web application.
Engineered a modular Express REST API with MongoDB schemas, JWT authorization guards, Multer multipart upload middleware, and a normalized Redux Toolkit state hierarchy.
ARCHITECTURAL BLUEPRINTS
JWT Middleware Security Barrier
Protected route middleware inspects bearer tokens on every request, verifying cryptographic signatures prior to database controller invocation.
Multer Multipart Pipeline
Validates incoming MIME types, sanitizes filenames, and streams binary image buffers directly to server storage.
Redux Toolkit Normalized State
Decouples task scheduling and social feed caches, preventing unnecessary re-renders across disparate application views.
CORE SYSTEM CAPABILITIES
End-to-end MERN architecture: MongoDB document database, Express.js REST API, React UI, Node.js
Secure authentication pipeline: bcrypt password hashing and JSON Web Token (JWT) authorization
Dual-mode architecture: Multimedia community feed paired with team task management workflows
Multipart file streaming: Multer middleware for secure profile and post image uploads
Social engagement mechanics: Like counters, post publishing, comments, and member profile views
Material-UI design system with responsive layouts, dark/light modes, and Redux Toolkit state slices
AI Expense Tracker: Budget & Spend Intelligence
Autonomous personal finance platform with Supabase SSR, TanStack Query v5, and Recharts.
Media Downloader: Audio & Video Stream Extractor
High-throughput media extraction and audio transcoder web tool supporting 50+ platforms.
