ScoutForge is a software discovery platform featuring more than 2,500 listed applications and over 1,000 registered users.
This repository presents a high-level case study of my work on the product. The production source code is private and is not included.
The public discovery experience helps users explore software products through searchable listings, categories, filters, and curated product information. I designed and developed the responsive frontend, reusable listing components, navigation structure, and product discovery flows.
Application detail pages bring together product descriptions, ratings, categories, screenshots, ownership information, and related actions in a structured interface. I was responsible for the UI/UX design, responsive implementation, data presentation, and frontend integration of these pages.
ScoutForge includes product-oriented workflows such as user onboarding, listing claims, promotions, and Reddit lead discovery. I designed and implemented the frontend flows, forms, validation states, feedback messages, and API integrations required to guide users through these multi-step processes.
The internal admin platform supports application management, user and claim operations, content review, promotions, moderation, and AI-assisted research workflows with human approval. I designed and developed the multi-module admin interface, including data tables, filters, forms, status controls, and operational dashboards.
