Continente, Yammi

The Challenge The project required a sophisticated "Food Engine" capable of handling complex data structures while maintaining a simple, high performance interface for users in a kitchen environment.

The Solution

• The Core Recipe Engine
• I architected a custom backend using Node.js and PostgreSQL (JSONB) to power the Yammi recipe ecosystem.
  Cooking Adjustments: Developed a logic layer that allows for dynamic scaling of ingredients. If a user changes the number of servings, the engine automatically recalculates all quantities in real time.
  REST Integration: The app was built to integrate seamlessly with the existing Continente web portal via a high performance REST API, ensuring that a recipe saved on a computer was instantly available on the mobile device.
• Social & Personalization Features
• Friends Lists: Built a social layer allowing users to follow friends, share their favorite recipes, and see what the community was cooking.
  Favorites & Collections: Engineered a robust "Favorite" system with offline support, allowing users to access their go to recipes even without a stable internet connection.
• Streamlined "Cook Mode" (React Native)
• Using React Native, I developed an interface optimized for the kitchen:
  Large format typography and high contrast UI for easy reading while cooking.
  A "Guided Step by Step" mode that ensures users can follow complex recipes without losing their place.
  Technical Highlights Framework: React Native (iOS & Android).
  Backend: Node.js with a PostgreSQL (JSONB) Recipe Engine.
  API: RESTful integration with the main Continente web infrastructure.
  Key Features: Dynamic portion scaling, Social "Friends" lists, Offline Favorites.
