Flagship project
Crece Cumi
CONECTÁ · GUÍA · CRECE
A multi-tenant daycare platform built for Aruba. Parents, staff, and administrators share one product family with strict tenant isolation, multilingual UX, and a control plane for billing and onboarding.
Built from scratch as two user-facing apps on a shared Laravel API: a Nuxt 4 admin portal and one React Native mobile app for parents and staff, with database-per-tenant isolation. The landlord layer handles Stripe subscriptions, tenant provisioning, entitlements, and private media storage.

DB per tenant
Laravel API & tenancy
Central landlord database plus isolated tenant databases. API-first with Sanctum auth, module-based feature gating, and role-based access for directors, staff, and parents.
Admin portal (Nuxt)
Multi-facility management, invitations, group setup, and compliance workflows. Fully translated in Papiamento, Dutch, English, and Spanish.
Mobile app (Expo)
One shared app for parents and staff with role-specific views: daily reports, attendance, photos, and messaging designed for busy classroom floors.
Billing & platform ops
Stripe Billing for subscriptions and add-ons, automated tenant provisioning, usage snapshots, and private child media on object storage with GDPR-minded access controls.
In active development
Off-the-shelf tools force *compromises*. I build systems that follow your process: carefully scoped, tested, and maintained after launch.
/01
Solid foundations
Modular architecture and infrastructure that grows with you, without a rewrite eighteen months later.
/02
No black boxes
You always know what's being built, why, and what it costs. Weekly updates, shared repos, honest timelines.
/03
One point of contact
Design, backend, and frontend come from the same person who answers your emails. Short lines, fast decisions.
/04
Built to last
Testing, monitoring, and maintenance are part of the job. Software is only done when it runs reliably for years.
