Attorneys: a debt-management platform, from idea to production
A law practice needed software to manage debt cases from first contact to final payment. I led the project from the first conversation to production and owned every layer.

The problem
Debt collection is a process with a lot of state: cases, debtors, balances, payments and deadlines. Every step has to be tracked accurately. Generic tools don't model it well, and mistakes have legal and financial consequences.
What I did
- Led the project from conception to deployment.
- Designed the PostgreSQL schema around the real business process: debt cases, balances and collection workflows.
- Built the backend in Node.js and Express with TypeScript and Knex.
- Designed and built the interface in React with TypeScript, focused on making a complex workflow feel simple.
How it works
Interface (React). Case views and workflow actions.
API (Express · TypeScript). Business rules and validation.
Data (PostgreSQL · Knex). Cases, balances and payments, modelled on the real process.
