SockClub

Client build • PHP (Frameworkless) + CSS + JS + Tailwind + API Integrations

A monthly subscription service where customers sign up and receive curated socks delivered to their door every month. The platform integrates multiple payment gateways and a delivery system for seamless end-to-end operations.

Once a subscription is triggered, the entire workflow runs automatically — an order is created and placed, and delivery services are notified to pick up and ship directly to the client. No manual steps, no friction. Backed by a custom-built CMS for managing subscriptions, order processing, delivery tracking, and customer data.

CHERISH Ranking Platform

Client build • PHP + CodeIgniter + MySQL + CSS + JS + AI Integrations

An internal tool built for John Bielinski, distributed to his clients as a weekly self-ranking platform based on the CHERISH system — Career, Health, Ego/Emotions, Relationships, Integrity, Spiritual, and Happiness.

Users compare where they were versus where they are now, tracking their scores over time. The platform applies proprietary internal formulas to deliver meaningful insights back to the user, along with automated notifications prompting them when it's time to rank themselves. A custom-built CMS powers the backend, enabling management of user accounts, ranking data, scoring configuration, and notification schedules.

PAGE RADAR-BRAND PROTECTION WEB APP

Client build • PHP + CodeIgniter + CSS + JS + APIs

RabbitMQ handles message queuing for high-volume URL processing, while intelligently spaced scheduling reduces bot detection risk. Automated daily reports provide clear visibility into scanning outcomes. A custom-built CMS ties it all together — managing monitored URLs, scan results, scheduling rules, and reporting dashboards.
