Product-oriented Full-Stack Developer

I build software starting from business and user problems, code is the tool.

Product-oriented full-stack developer, I design applications starting from real needs, tech constraints, and user value. I believe the best products win through execution quality and polish, not through feature accumulation.

ShoopySeek

Featured project

Indoor Product Navigation System (MVP)

In-store navigation system via interactive map and NFC tags.

Finding a specific product in-store is slow and frustrating. ShoopySeek makes search instant through indoor navigation accessible via the web.

  • Product search → guidance on interactive map.
  • Mobile-first, triggered and recalibrated via NFC.
  • Multi-layer project: web, mobile, spatial computing, NFC.

Stack (web)

React, Next.js, Three.js, Node.js/Express, PostgreSQL.

Scope

Store data acquisition, 2D/3D mapping, field constraints, mobile UX with NFC.

Technical challenges

  • Spatial data & noise (RoomPlan API): filtering and leveraging noisy 3D data not intended for stores.
  • 2D mapping from raw spatial JSON: generating interactive store map without cleaned 3D model.
  • Mobile UX with NFC & Web APIs (iOS) constraints: journeys triggered by embedded URL, state maintenance despite reloads across multiple tabs.

Product specifics

  • Mobile-first journey triggered and recalibrated via NFC.
  • 2D map from raw RoomPlan spatial data.
  • Innovative indoor navigation system.

My development approach

Product mindset
  • Code is a means, not an end.
  • Each feature solves a clear user/business problem.
  • I like working at the Product × Tech × Business interface.
  • Focus on quality, consistency, polish, iteration.

Side projects

Since 2024

Development of about fifteen MVPs and independent projects since 2024, to explore different product, UX and technical challenges. Consistency over quantity.
