(01) The problem
Users needed to find and review company and service-provider information in one place.
(02) What I worked on
- 01
Discovery and search
Built company and provider discovery with search, filters, pagination, and profile pages.
- 02
Registration and verification
Implemented individual and company registration, role-aware application flows, and expiring-token verification for company submissions.
- 03
Account workflows
Added favorites, notifications, and dashboard areas for registered users and organizations.
- 04
Subscriptions and deployment
Integrated Flutterwave subscription lifecycle actions and deployed the application to a Linux VPS using Docker, Nginx, and Certbot.
(03) Engineering decisions
Model subscription actions explicitly
Cancellation and reactivation are distinct lifecycle actions, allowing the interface to reflect the provider-backed subscription state.
