02.Some Things I've Built
Featured Project
Solterra Workshop — UI and Storefront
Solterra Workshop
(In Progress)A custom storefront built on React, TypeScript, and Material UI — currently using local JSON as a lightweight data layer, with Firebase Firestore, Cloud Storage, and Auth planned as the backend matures.
Checkout is implemented server-side via Firebase Cloud Functions using a modular architecture designed to support multiple payment processors — keeping PCI scope at zero and client-side price tampering off the table from day one. The filterable product catalog, cart, and component-level design system are all custom-built — no off-the-shelf UI kits or platform shortcuts.
Built in phases: catalog and UI foundation complete, with auth, order history, and admin tooling on the roadmap. Open-sourcing is planned once product data is de-identified — a clean real-world reference implementation for small product businesses.
