Building a Marketplace with Next.js and Prisma

As part of a consulting engagement, I designed and delivered a full-stack marketplace application leveraging Next.js, Prisma, and MySQL.

The project requirements included user authentication, role-based access, and an admin dashboard for managing platform activity. I chose Prisma to simplify database interactions and ensure type safety while keeping the stack scalable.

Key deliverables included:

• Authentication with JWT
• Role-based access control for buyers, sellers, and admins
• Secure payments and order management
• A responsive frontend built with Next.js + Tailwind
• Database design and optimization using MySQL

This freelance project was a great opportunity to combine modern TypeScript tooling, database best practices, and production-ready architecture into a solution that could scale with client needs.
