Tatfindr

As founding developer on Tatfindr, I built the core platform that helps customers find tattoo artists by location and style, view portfolios, and send structured enquiries.

Overview

Tatfindr is a full-stack web application with a Next.js frontend and ASP.NET Core backend. The frontend uses Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and Flowbite Premium for a polished UI. The API handles authentication (ASP.NET Identity + JWT), search, bookings, and email via Resend.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js 16, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui
• Backend: ASP.NET Core 8, EF Core 8, PostgreSQL
• Auth: ASP.NET Identity, JWT
• Email: Resend
• DevOps: Docker, Docker Compose for local dev

Role

As founding developer, I designed and implemented the architecture, core API, database schema, and frontend structure. The platform is built for scale, with proper validation, logging, and observability (Serilog, OpenTelemetry) from the ground up.

Why It Matters

Tatfindr demonstrates that I can lead full-stack web projects from concept to production. The same engineering discipline, clear architecture, testable code, and maintainable systems, applies whether the product is a game, a VR experience, or a web marketplace.
