SalonPro

Problem

Appointment software serves several people with very different needs. A salon owner needs an overview of the business, employees need their own schedules and performance information, while customers mainly need a simple way to book appointments and manage their account.

Key features

Technical approach

I built the project as a full-stack application with React, TypeScript, Sass and SWR on the frontend, backed by Node.js, Express and MySQL. JWT and Argon2 handle authentication and password security, while Chart.js is used for business and employee statistics. I also created a public-facing website alongside the application and used routing to separate the website experience from the authenticated application area.

What I’d improve

The project helped me improve significantly on what I had learned from CarpetCareManager, especially around role-specific interfaces and larger application flows. Looking back, I would simplify parts of the architecture, define permissions and shared data contracts more explicitly, and add stronger automated testing before expanding the feature set further.
