Full Stack Engineer

Mar 2020 — Jun 2020 Los Angeles, California, United States

Full-stack engineer on two e-commerce / publishing properties — Me.Market (a books-selling marketplace MVP) and Classics of Strategy and Diplomacy (rare-books site) — covering web, admin panel, and backend API across both. On the React + Material-UI admin dashboard (forked from react-saas-template), built the auth-aware logged-in / logged-out areas, AuthContext, theming, and CRUD surfaces backed by rich-text editing (CKEditor 5 + Jodit), image cropping (React-Cropper), drag-and-drop uploads (React-Dropzone), PDF rendering (pdf.js), Stripe Elements checkout, Recharts dashboards, and Google Places autocomplete. On the Express/Node API, modeled and shipped products, checkouts, reviews, readers, press, users, and views with Mongoose/MongoDB, JWT + bcrypt auth, Cloudinary uploads via express-fileupload, Stripe payments, Mailjet transactional email through Pug templates, and Open Graph link scraping. Wired environment-switched dev/prod configs and deployed to Heroku.

Two-repo full-stack delivery: ben-api (Express + Mongoose REST API for products, checkouts, reviews, readers, press, users, views) and ben-webdashboard (React + Material-UI admin with Stripe Elements, CKEditor/Jodit content editing, image cropping, PDF rendering, and Recharts analytics) · Mar 2020 – Jun 2020.
