    paper AIDA — Aesthetic Clinics Marketplace Platform | Cofounder

    Led the full-stack design and development of AIDA, a subscription-based SaaS platform
    that serves as a comprehensive operating system for aesthetic clinics. The platform
    connects clinics with patients through a public marketplace while providing clinics with
    integrated tools for patient relationship management, appointment scheduling, treatment
    and medication tracking, before/after photo management, and marketing visibility.
    On the backend, I architected a modular, API-first system using Laravel 12 with
    PostgreSQL, organized around clearly separated domains (Clinic, Patient, Marketplace).
    The system features subscription-based tiered access, role-based permissions, queued
    background jobs, and Eloquent-driven data modeling with optimized eager loading. I
    integrated an AI-powered medical analysis service that evaluates patient data including
    BMI, procedure risk matrices, pre-operative test requirements, and consultation duration
    factors to generate intelligent clinical recommendations.

    On the frontend, I built a fully decoupled single-page application using Vue 3 with the
    Composition API, Inertia.js v2, and Tailwind CSS v4. The UI leverages Inertia v2 features
    such as deferred props with skeleton loading, prefetching, polling, and infinite scroll.
    I established a design-driven development workflow using Figma MCP integration, enabling
    automated extraction of design tokens, color palettes, typography, and component
    hierarchies directly into production-ready Vue components and Tailwind configurations.
    The platform supports full bilingual operation (Turkish and English) across all layers,
    with Laravel localization on the backend and Vue I18n on the frontend. File storage is
    handled through Supabase, and the codebase follows strict testing practices with PHPUnit
    and transactional database testing.
    Tech: Laravel 12, Vue 3, PostgreSQL, Inertia.js v2, Tailwind CSS v4, Vite, Supabase,
    Figma MCP, AI/LLM Integration
    Pick whichever fits your CV format best, or let me know if you want me to adjust the
    tone, length, or emphasis on specific aspects.
