My Cancer Companion is an app I helped build providing the best, most up-to-date, and authoritative information for people with lung cancer.

React renderer for a B2B eCommerce CMS at Marlon, Dockx, Denderwood
Helped set up the server-side renderer and React component engine for Marlon's in-house B2B CMS. This project involved both internal work spread over 3 years on the admin side of things, and customer-facing React components that worked on servers and browsers alike. Including: Carts, Checkouts, Product Details, Maps, Interactive Logo Pickers, and Advanced Datagrids. Just to name a few.
