Full Stack Development

News App

Multi-API news aggregator—React frontend, Laravel API, personalized feeds, and Dockerized local/deploy workflow.

News App
  • 3+ News API integrations
  • 20% Performance mindset (BCI benchmark)
  • Docker Containerized workflow
  • Real-time Live article fetching

Challenge

Readers needed one dependable place to discover news—not three tabs, three APIs, and inconsistent UX. The product had to aggregate sources, respect user preferences, and stay maintainable as integrations evolved.

Approach

I built a full-stack news platform with a Laravel/PHP API and React frontend, wiring News API, The Guardian, and The New York Times into a single search and feed experience. Docker Compose packages the stack so the whole system runs the same way on every machine. AI helped speed API planning and implementation scaffolding; I spent the saved time on structure, performance, and the reading experience—the same quality focus that contributed to 20% faster page loads on web applications at BCI Innovation Labs.

Results

A cohesive news product that fetches real-time articles, personalizes what users see, and ships with a deployment story teams can trust—proof of how I turn an ambitious integration problem into production-ready software.

Key deliverables

  • Keyword search and filters across multiple live news sources
  • Personalized feed tuned to interests and reading habits
  • Laravel API paired with a React SPA for clean separation of concerns
  • Docker Compose for a reproducible full-stack environment
