PlaylistParty is a dynamic web application that transforms how friends share and discover music together. I developed this application from the ground up to create a seamless collaborative music experience where users can create, share, and enjoy playlists in real-time. The app integrates with the Spotify Web API to provide users with access to a vast library of songs. Users can create a playlist, invite friends to join, and listen together in real-time, making it a fun and interactive way to enjoy music with friends.

At Bump Boxes, I led the frontend development team in transforming the company's eCommerce platform from WordPress to a custom React application, dramatically improving scalability and performance.

Given my experience with Subscription-based eCommerce, Ben from Natural Music came to me to transition his business into an online music lessons website.
