DeskMint

550+ commits so far across both repositories (And counting!)

My role

Sole developer of DeskMint, responsible for the full stack - designing and building the frontend with Vue.js, backend with Laravel, and implementing SPA and PWA functionality across all modules.

Notable functionalities/code (Currently Present in the Codebase)

• Dynamic custom fields with user-defined data types - Users can create their own data models on the fly, not just store data but define the structure itself
• Bank grade authentication system - Custom secure login with access/refresh tokens and unique device fingerprinting
• Custom frontend DataTable component - Handles both static and dynamic data with 3rd-party plugin-level sophistication
• Dependency injection & traits - Modular, reusable, and loosely coupled codebase
• Granular field visibility controls - Users can show/hide any field (including custom fields) across multiple functionalities
• Advanced data querying - Users can define which fields are searchable or non-searchable and configure sorting across multiple modules in the system, even for fully custom fields
• Flexible invoicing system - Users define custom taxes and invoice fields that automatically reflect in invoice creation features
• Custom Vue UI component library - Built from scratch including tabs, autocompletes, buttons, inputs, and more
• Variable-based invoice numbering - Users can generate custom invoice number formats using dynamic variables
• Universal field ordering - Users can reorder fields for invoices, companies, clients, and any other entity as needed

This is not a CRUD app but a complex application in active development with 550+ commits across frontend and backend repositories.

What this demonstrates

• Full-stack proficiency - Backend and frontend expertise across the entire application stack
• Mobile-ready development - SPA architecture with PWA capabilities for mobile deployment
• Advanced Vue.js skills - Complex frontend work using both Composition API and Options API
• Enterprise Laravel development - Sophisticated backend architecture for complex business logic
• Critical thinking and solid architecture - Well-planned system design with scalability in mind
• Security-conscious development - Implementation of authentication best practices and secure patterns
• Database design expertise - Complex relational schema supporting dynamic data structures
• Comprehensive testing - Unit, integration, and end-to-end testing with PHPUnit for enterprise-grade reliability
