Portfolio
Selected work
Novu — SaaS Platform
Novu — SaaS Platform
A multi-tenant SaaS platform built end to end. I designed the PostgreSQL schema, built a REST API and role-based auth in Laravel, and shipped a real-time analytics dashboard in React with live data over WebSockets.
The backend handles per-workspace data isolation, background jobs for heavy reporting, and Stripe billing. The frontend is fully component-driven, type-safe, and optimized for fast initial loads.
Result: the team onboarded their first 1,000 users without a single scaling incident, and feature delivery sped up thanks to a clean, well-tested codebase.
