about.
I built the core platform for Linkto.art, an AI-powered SaaS system for artists and galleries. Work included development of portfolio pages, catalog sharing with analytics, inventory management, and transaction processing. The stack used React + Typescript on the frontend, Node.js with MongoDB on the backend, and AWS for infrastructure. Stripe Connect handled payments. Arta’s API managed shipping and insurance.

Needed full authentication flow.
Implementing inventory and sales logic across variable artwork metadata.
Integrating Stripe Connect for custom artist payouts and compliance.
Embedding logistics with Arta’s API for quoting, shipping, and insurance.
Maintaining responsive, scalable React components that supported both desktop and mobile.
