Projects

• Humza Prints

  2026 – Present

  Featured build

  I designed and built humzaprints.com from first commit to live sales: a full storefront for custom framing and prints—not a portfolio demo, but real checkout, real payouts, and real customers walking through the door.

  • PostgreSQL + PostGraphile power the catalog and CMS-style pages so product stories and layouts can evolve without constant redeploys.
  • Stripe end-to-end for payments; order and fulfillment data stay tied to the same backend the storefront reads from.
  • Next.js on the front: fast, accessible pages with the kind of finish you expect from a consumer brand, not a weekend script.
