    paper Founding Full Stack Developer - Coll3ctibles

    Project: Coll3ctibles – NFT Rewards Platform
    Live Site: https://www.twine.net/signin
    Stack: Next.js, Node.js, MongoDB, AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, CloudFront), Tailwind CSS, Crossmint

    Description:
    Coll3ctibles is a full-stack NFT rewards and membership platform built for Solana-based creators. I led the development of the platform from the ground up and handled everything from architecture to deployment.

    What I did:

    • Built the entire platform using Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB
    • Designed and implemented a custom admin dashboard and CMS for managing NFT collections, airdrops, and analytics
    • Integrated Crossmint for custodial wallet support and credit card payments
    • Developed wallet-based authentication and token-gated content access
    • Created responsive UI components using Tailwind CSS
    • Scaled infrastructure using AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, CloudFront) to handle high-traffic NFT drops
    • Shipped multiple NFT launches, including Catalina Whale Mixer, with 16,000+ users and $2.5M+ in market cap
    • Automated deployments using GitHub Actions and managed staging environments with Heroku

    This project showcases my ability to ship secure, scalable Web3 applications with clean UX and reliable infrastructure.
