ODYST
I built Odyst entirely on my own — from the visual identity and design system to the database schema, API, and frontend. I created a custom story publishing flow for community contributors, integrated Cloudinary for optimized media delivery, and built trending and discovery algorithms to surface relevant content. Every part of the stack — design, data model, API, and deployment — was my responsibility.

Needed a platform that felt editorial and premium — not a generic blog — while scaling to handle community-submitted stories with heavy image assets across 20+ cultural categories.
Designed a typographic editorial layout for immersive reading, built a culture-tagged content model, implemented engagement-based ranking for trending and discovery feeds, and configured Cloudinary transformations for fast image loading at any scale.
