Patchwork

Patchwork is a full-stack mutual aid platform built on the AT Protocol. It serves as a portfolio project that demonstrates practical product engineering across frontend, backend, data flow, moderation, testing, and deployment.

What this project demonstrates

• Building a TypeScript monorepo with shared contracts across multiple services
• Delivering a React + Vite + Tailwind web experience backed by Node.js services
• Designing API, indexing, and moderation workflows for a trust-aware platform
• Using Vitest, Playwright, and CI quality gates to keep changes reliable
• Shipping with Docker, PostgreSQL, and production-minded deployment patterns

Technical strengths

• Frontend: React 19, Vite, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript
• Backend: Node.js services for API, indexing, and moderation
• Architecture: Shared packages, typed schemas, deterministic fixtures, service boundaries
• Quality: Unit tests, browser E2E tests, type checking, linting, automated CI
• Operations: Dockerized builds, health checks, deployment workflow, security scanning

Why it matters

This project demonstrates building polished user-facing experiences, backing them with well-structured services, and supporting them with strong testing and operational discipline. It reflects hands-on experience with modern JavaScript tooling, systems thinking, and product-focused delivery.
