/// My contribution
Frontend flows and backend development for registration, participant profiles, discovery and match requests.
/// Complementary teams
Participants describe their skills, interests and preferred ways of working. The product organizes teammate discovery around those profiles and explicit incoming requests, instead of treating every possible pairing as a completed match.
/// Separate applications
The current source is split into frontend and backend repositories. The frontend implements staged sign-in, phone/setup and discovery flows. The backend uses Express and PostgreSQL-related dependencies.
/// What is verified
The public homepage and source structure were inspected. Complete sign-in, OTP delivery, production authorization and matching quality were not validated during the portfolio work. Illustrative percentages in the original interface are not portfolio performance claims.
