Projects — Built & In Progress

Over time, I’ve worked on various projects, both for clients and for myself. Here are a few of my favorites — a mix of things I’ve already built and what I’m currently working on. Each project has taught me something valuable.

Internal Web Analytics tool with AI

This internal tool was built to automate the process of reviewing client websites and providing feedback. Developed an AI-powered workflow that uses the Google API to check customer reviews, Lighthouse for performance audits, and OpenAI’s API to assist with content evaluation and reporting.

Note: This tool was created at confident. The code is proprietary, but I’m happy to share more about my contributions.

Ennio Grossi – Portfolio Website

enniogrossi.com

This is the portfolio of a talented graphic designer. I really like this project because of its minimal design and simplicity. Ennio can easily add new projects, and they’re automatically displayed — no extra effort needed.

We designed it together, and I built the site using Next.js for the frontend and Sanity as the CMS. It’s clean, fast, and fully editable.

Real Estate Platform – Dubai

helvetiasands.ch

This project was for a real estate business in Dubai. They needed a site that could display listings from an external API and also allow them to manage their own content. The goal was to build something flexible, with a CMS that gave them full control.

To reduce costs, I went with a self-hosted CMS. I handled both the design and development of the platform, which includes a front-facing site and admin interface.

Other Professional Projects (Not Publicly Available)

In addition to the projects above, I’ve worked on several impactful platforms as part of my professional roles. These include:

• Multi-tenant CMS & Marketplace
  Developed features and maintained a platform used by 180+ opticians, including a custom CMS for site deployment and a multi-tenant marketplace. Tech: React, Next.js, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Docker, GitHub Actions.

• Urban Golf MVP
  Sole developer for a real-time scoring web app, leveraging Supabase’s real-time features and websockets.

Note:Due to client privacy and company policies, these projects are not available to view online, but I’m happy to discuss the challenges and solutions I contributed to in more detail.

Personal Content Dashboard (In Progress)

Building a personal brand today requires consistency — across projects, social platforms, and job materials. I noticed that most tools only solve a small part of that, so I started building my own dashboard.

It’s a central place where I can manage everything: schedule posts for X, update my CV, track projects, and distribute content, all from one spot.

I'm building it using modern tools to keep the setup fast, clean, and developer-friendly:

• Next.js for the frontend
• Drizzle ORM for working with the database
• Supabase as the backend and storage layer
• tRPC for type-safe APIs without the boilerplate
• Mux for video uploads and playback

The goal is to create a reliable and modern stack that’s easy to extend, with a great dev experience and a fast user experience. I've open-sourced the code on GitHub, so others can learn from it, build on it, or use it as a starting point.

Self-Hosting & DevOps Experiments

I’ve been diving into self-hosting as a way to better understand how modern infrastructure works, from Docker and reverse proxies to monitoring and analytics.

For example, the analytics running on this site are entirely self-hosted. I'm currently using a mix of Umami and OpenPanel, both lightweight, privacy-friendly analytics tools, deployed via Docker on my own server. Managing these setups has taught me a lot about containerization, networking, and maintaining services in production-like environments.

This hands-on approach helps me build a deeper understanding of hosting, performance, and system reliability. All of which directly influence how I design and deploy projects.

I’ll continue updating this page as new projects go live or evolve. Each one is a step forward in refining how I design, build, and solve real-world problems on the web.
