RatTracer

Featured

A MEAN-stack Kanban board for tracking job applications through the hiring pipeline, built end-to-end to learn Angular in depth: an Angular front end (standalone components, reactive forms, CDK drag-and-drop) talking to an independent Express/Mongoose REST API backed by MongoDB Atlas, with linked resumes, cover letters, and job postings stored in Google Drive. Ships with an editable status-history timeline, optimistic drag-and-drop updates with automatic rollback on a failed save, and a Dockerized deployment (nginx reverse proxy, multi-stage build) running on a personal home server.

In Progress

A three-service application built toward commercial deployment: a React + Vite front end with bilingual (EN/FR) internationalization, an Express API backend that proxies external services so API keys never reach the browser, and a standalone Node.js scraper service with scheduled jobs, caching, and stale-cache failover.
