Nimbus Analytics
A real-time analytics dashboard for product teams.
Introduction
Nimbus turns raw event streams into clear, actionable dashboards so teams can see how features perform the moment they ship. Designed for high throughput and instantaneous visibility without cognitive overload.
The Problem
Product teams were flying blind — data lived in scattered tools, queries took minutes to execute, and it took days to compile reports into anything actionable for decision-making.
The Solution
A streaming pipeline feeding a fast, filterable dashboard with pre-computed aggregation views, anomaly alerts, and shareable reports built specifically for non-technical product managers.
Challenges Faced
Handling thousands of concurrent WebSocket event streams while maintaining 60fps UI responsiveness without garbage collection spikes or React rerender bottlenecks.
Key Takeaways
Learned to architect low-latency client caches and leverage Web Workers for client-side data filtering before passing clean structures to the React render tree.

Orbit Commerce
A headless storefront with a lightning-fast checkout.
Introduction
Orbit is a modern e-commerce platform focused on speed, conversion, and a checkout experience that completely gets out of the customer's way. Engineered for sub-second page transitions across mobile and desktop.
The Problem
The client's legacy storefront suffered from a clunky multi-step checkout process, resulting in an alarming 68% cart-abandonment rate on mobile devices.
The Solution
Rebuilt as a headless storefront with a streamlined single-page checkout, saved payment methods via Stripe Elements, and instant client-side catalog search with instant typeahead.
Challenges Faced
Eliminating checkout friction while guaranteeing strict PCI compliance and synchronizing inventory locks across high-traffic flash sales without race conditions.
Key Takeaways
Cut checkout completion time in half (from 3.8m to 1.4m) and realized firsthand how micro-UX polish directly impacts bottom-line revenue conversions.

Key Features
Atlas CMS
A content platform for editorial teams.
Introduction
Atlas is a flexible, block-based headless CMS that lets writers and editors compose rich layouts visually while developers maintain full programmatic control over schema definitions and type safety.
The Problem
Editorial writers depended entirely on engineering sprints for every page update or layout variation, creating an unbearable bottleneck for publishing fresh content.
The Solution
Designed an intuitive modular block editor with live draft previews, fine-grained publishing workflows, and a high-performance GraphQL content delivery API.
Challenges Faced
Developing a deeply nested, draggable block editor with full undo/redo state history that serializes cleanly into structured JSON without schema drift.
Key Takeaways
Gained deep expertise in content modeling, tree-shaking dynamic components, and crafting developer tooling that non-technical users genuinely enjoy using daily.
