TeamRandom.
A CRM built from scratch with a friend while we were both job hunting. First project where I realized I was good at integrating APIs.

- Side Project
Two out-of-work developers building something real while job hunting.
TeamRandom started as a way to manage our own projects and tasks, but became the project where I first noticed a pattern: I was good at picking up APIs and integrating third-party services quickly.
Off-the-shelf tools felt like overkill.
We needed a way to track what we were working on. So we built our own.
Built a full CRM from scratch
CRUD, role-based access, email notifications via a transactional mail API, and an early integration with Aceternity UI when it was just gaining traction.
CRUD
Built complete CRM with CRUD, role-based access control, and email notifications
Role-based access
Email notifications
Integrated transactional email API for notifications
Aceternity UI
Early adopter of Aceternity UI — integrated before it was widely known
This was the project that taught me I could figure things out.
- Built complete CRM with CRUD, role-based access control, and email notifications
- Integrated transactional email API for notifications
- Early adopter of Aceternity UI — integrated before it was widely known
- Planning UI redesign and pivot to API-based headless CMS (Strapi-lite approach) for this portfolio
No tutorials, no hand-holding — just docs and determination. Looking back, it's where I started trusting my ability to integrate unfamiliar tools.
