My Pipeline

The Development Process

How I structure communication and milestones, guiding your software project from plan outlines to production release.

1

Requirement Gathering

We agree in writing what the system must do, who uses it, and what each screen produces — before any code is written. This is where most project overruns are prevented.

2

Research & Feasibility

Choosing the database (MongoDB or SQL Server) based on how your data actually relates, then checking third-party APIs, load expectations and anything that could block delivery later.

3

UI/UX Design Systems

Formulating Figma wireframes and prototype screens showcasing light premium aesthetics, rounded card models, and custom color variables.

4

Software Development

Building the React front end and the Node.js/Express API together, with the database schema designed first so the data model does not have to be rewritten mid-project.

5

Quality & Layout Testing

Testing on real phones, tablets and desktop widths, plus checking the business logic itself — permissions, edge cases and what happens when a user does the wrong thing.

6

Cloud Deployment

Deploying the app and database to your server or cloud host with SSL, environment configuration and backups in place. I have deployed to both Linux cloud hosts and Windows Server with SQL Server.

7

Post-Launch Support

Continuous monitoring, bug-tracking registries, page speed optimizations, and periodic styling checks.
