Salongraphy

Salongraphy is a two-sided hiring platform: artists build a portfolio and apply for work, salons post jobs and hire. I built the whole thing: the Express API, the Postgres schema, the Flutter app on the Play Store, the server-rendered marketing and discovery site, and the internal admin console. I run it in production.

The interesting part is not any one screen, it is that four codebases share one API contract without drifting. The admin console is a backend-for-frontend: the browser never sees a token, every call is same-origin through Next route handlers, and a single refresh-and-retry hop handles token rotation so an expired access token never reaches the user as an error.

• REST API of 60+ controllers over a 45-table Postgres schema: profiles, job posts, applications, a social feed with comments and reporting, follows, search, and subscriptions.
• Role-based admin console with a permission matrix, immutable audit logs, post moderation and a user-deletion pipeline, running as a backend-for-frontend so no token ever reaches the browser.
• Monetisation across three payment providers: Razorpay, Google Play billing and Apple IAP, behind one eligibility service that decides what a given user may actually do.
• Background workers on BullMQ for push notifications and email, with per-route rate limiting, client version gating and a locality index seeded from Indian locality data for geographic search.
• Flutter client in clean architecture: 300+ files split across domain, data and presentation layers, Riverpod for state and go_router for navigation.
