The problem

Short-term rental hosts need to organize reservations, cleaning and calendars across properties and booking platforms.

What I built

A rental-management product with guest information, cleaning tasks, role-based access and iCal feeds. The application uses Next.js, TypeScript and Prisma with SQLite/libSQL.

What you can review

The public product and open-source repository show the interface and workflow. Calendar synchronization follows the participating platforms’ polling intervals.

Relevant work: responsive interfaces, booking state, data integration and self-hostable source code.

One platform for players and club teams

PlaySport is my own production sports-booking and club-management platform. I built the customer-facing booking experience alongside the operational tools a venue needs to manage courts, reservations, pricing and money. The two sides use the same underlying booking data, so the product connects the player’s choice of a time slot with the club’s daily schedule and financial records. The screens show the live Tennis & Padel City workspace in Uzbekistan.

A clear player booking journey

Players start with a club directory containing sports, venue photos and starting prices. Inside a club, they can select a sport, date, duration and court, or let the application assign a suitable court automatically. Court photos and individual prices help with the decision, while available start times are grouped into useful parts of the day. The interface also exposes multi-court booking and sun and weather context. The wider booking flow supports guest reservations, Payme and Click integrations, split payments and pay-at-venue workflows.

Daily operations at different scales

The management workspace gives staff several ways to understand the same schedule. The day view maps reservations and blocked time against individual courts. The week view shows capacity across hours and days, while the month view summarizes bookings, classes and amounts. Venue selection keeps work tied to the relevant club. Customer records, classes and events, court and coach setup, inventory, check-in and notifications form the surrounding operational workflow. Owner and manager access is scoped to the clubs and responsibilities assigned to each user.

Finance that keeps distinct numbers separate

The finance dashboard distinguishes earned amounts from money received and shows the difference for the selected reporting period. Online gateway records are presented separately from payments entered by club staff. Owners can inspect payment methods by sport, including cash, Payme and Click, and compare the distribution of paid amounts. Operational charts add another perspective: sold and blocked capacity, hourly load, weekday patterns, cancellations and average booking value. Reporting uses the club’s currency and time zone, with selectable periods and sport filters.

Pricing rules the team can maintain

Pricing combines a base hourly rate with court-category time windows and discounts. Existing rules can depend on the day, start-time window and booking duration. When several discounts apply, the interface explains that the best player price is used rather than stacking reductions. This connects the rates visible to players with controls that the club team can maintain inside the same product.

Full-stack product implementation

The web application uses Next.js, React and TypeScript, with PostgreSQL and Drizzle ORM for application data. Tailwind CSS supports the interface, next-intl supplies localized navigation and content, and Recharts powers financial and operational charts. Shared domain logic handles booking and pricing concerns across the application. This project brings together the parts that often become separate tools: public discovery, availability, reservations, staff operations, payment records and reporting.

  • Next.js
  • Multilingual CMS
  • Search
Read the case study

Ergo Analytics is a research and consulting website I developed, bringing the organisation and its HC Lab research hub into one connected web experience.

The site organises practice areas, research projects, publications, news, events and team profiles through reusable editorial layouts. Visitors can browse project directories, explore related research and move between English, Russian and Uzbek versions. Search and locale-aware navigation help readers find relevant content across a substantial publishing archive.

The publishing setup combines Keystatic content management with MDX and JSON content compiled through Velite. Reusable page components support filtered project listings, an editorial calendar and Pagefind search. Sitemaps and language-specific metadata connect the content to its correct public routes.

Built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and next-intl, the website gives editors a consistent foundation for maintaining research and organisational content. Shared navigation and content models connect the main organisation, affiliated lab and publication archive.

The result is a multilingual content platform that brings institutional information and research publishing together, with a structure that can accommodate new sections and ongoing editorial work.

A Russian–Uzbek course platform with structured lessons, learner progress, course administration and purchase workflows.

  • Next.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Course workflows
Read the case study

HIVE Education is an online course platform I developed for learners in Uzbekistan. The website connects a public course catalogue with the learning experience and the tools needed to administer educational content.

The public interface presents courses, teachers, study programmes and course detail pages in Russian and Uzbek. Within the application, courses are organised into modules and lessons, with learning blocks, assessments and student progress records. Account pages connect learners with the courses and materials available to them.

The administration area supports course editing, lesson organisation, teacher records, student management and purchase records. Checkout and payment-provider callbacks connect the purchasing flow, while document-generation workflows support course completion. Role-based access separates the learning experience from content and student administration.

The implementation uses Next.js, React and TypeScript, with PostgreSQL and Drizzle ORM for application data. Tailwind CSS, next-intl and reusable interface components support a consistent bilingual experience across the public website and learning screens.

The result brings course discovery, learning content and administration together within one maintained application, connecting the public website to the operational tools used to manage courses.

  • Next.js
  • Medusa
  • Messaging
Read the case study

Collabry is a freelance-services marketplace I developed for Uzbekistan. It brings service discovery, project enquiries and the buyer–seller workspace into a single product.

Visitors can browse categories and fixed-price offers, open service and seller pages, and explore a project board. The account area connects profiles, published offers, project responses, conversations and order details, so the same user can participate on both sides of a marketplace.

The custom storefront is built on Next.js, React and TypeScript. Mercur and Medusa provide the underlying marketplace framework, with PostgreSQL-backed application data and additional workflows for the product's needs. Messaging combines buyer-side and seller-side conversations in one interface, while order pages connect transaction information and the delivery workflow.

The implementation also includes localised navigation, service taxonomy, saved items, account settings and structured page metadata. Russian, Uzbek and English-facing routes share reusable interface components.

The result is an integrated marketplace experience covering discovery, communication and order management. The architecture connects the public storefront with marketplace data while giving buyers and sellers a consistent workspace for their daily tasks.

  • React
  • TypeScript
  • API integrations
Read the case study

WoW Auditor is my own web application for World of Warcraft guilds. It brings roster management, raid planning and equipment tracking into one connected interface.

Members can review character gear, best-in-slot choices and loot history. Officers have tools for boss compositions, weekly activity, crafting and recruiting. A Mythic+ planner uses player availability to form groups, while a public loot catalog lets visitors browse drops by class, dungeon, raid and item slot without signing in.

The application uses React and TypeScript, with a Vite frontend and an Express backend. SQLite and Drizzle model characters, raids, items and planning records. Battle.net authentication and Blizzard data integration connect the product to game accounts; Warcraft Logs supports performance and recruiting views. An accompanying Electron app connects the website with the in-game addon.

The project shows how I approach data-heavy tools: related workflows share underlying records, with focused views for different tasks. It brings together a custom dashboard, external API integration and scheduling logic. Guild-specific screens and a public catalog give different users a practical way into the same product.

  • E-commerce
  • Product options
  • Catalog discovery
Read the case study

WowCarry is my own online storefront for gaming services, with a catalog spanning multiple games and service categories. Visitors can find an offer through game selection, search, category navigation and featured product collections.

Visual product cards lead to detailed service pages. These explain what is included and let visitors configure an offer before moving toward an order. The raid bundle page, for example, provides choices for region, completion speed, three raids and additional options. Currency selection, account access and a custom-offer request provide paths for different customer needs.

The site also includes guides and game news, connecting editorial content with the commercial catalog. Categories and supporting information are organized around player goals, such as preparing a character, joining a raid or finding a particular reward.

In my portfolio, WowCarry represents a live commerce product that combines catalog discovery, configurable offers, service descriptions and customer contact. The focus is the customer-facing experience and the structure of the storefront. It demonstrates how a specialized business can present a broad range of services through recognizable pages and a consistent visual system.

Read the case study

A clearer path from manuscript to submission

Perevu is my academic-review product for researchers preparing a manuscript for submission. It brings manuscript feedback, review-depth selection and journal discovery into one product experience. The interface gives a detailed review process a clear structure: understand the checks, explore a sample finding, compare review options and continue into the submission workflow.

Making the review process understandable

The public experience introduces a staged workflow, moving from manuscript intake and paper profiling through specialist checks, synthesis and final deliverables. Writing, structure, consistency, methodology, citations and statistics each have their own place in the interface. This makes the different types of feedback easier to understand before a researcher chooses a review level.

A central part of the experience is the interactive sample review. Visitors can switch between statistics, methodology, citation and style examples. Each finding connects a manuscript location with a severity label, supporting explanation and proposed revision. The methodology example traces a claim against its supporting evidence, while the statistics example presents original and recalculated values side by side. The layout keeps the issue, reasoning and suggested change together, making a dense review easier to scan.

Connecting feedback with the next step

The journal-discovery preview extends the workflow beyond editing. Selecting a journal changes a companion panel with its fit breakdown, subject and methodology alignment, scope, and publication information. A researcher can compare the reasoning behind different options without losing the shortlist. A dedicated Journal Match entry point leads into the account-based product.

Pricing follows the same emphasis on clarity. Essential, Professional and Expert are presented as different review depths, with a shared output format: a review report and an annotated Word manuscript. The comparison explains which checks belong to each level and how manuscript length affects the credit calculation.

One coherent product experience

The site supports English, Russian and Uzbek navigation, with clear routes to sign-in, registration, submission and pricing. Public examples let visitors explore the feedback format before creating an account. Across the experience, structured tables, expandable explanations and consistent calls to action turn a complex academic workflow into a sequence of understandable decisions. The result is a focused document product that connects manuscript feedback with the practical decisions around review and journal selection.
