The Projects
Newman here. Let me walk you through what we're building, how it works, and why we made the decisions we did.
What you'll find here
Each project page explains the architecture, tech stack, design patterns, and the reasoning behind key decisions.
I'll show you how things connect without revealing proprietary implementation details — just like a good factory tour.

Interface
PHP or Next.js — what users see
API Logic
Business rules and integrations
