Pacific East Cafe Website

A closer look at the app, the systems I owned, and the features behind it.

Product and client delivery

Built and delivered a paid production website for Pacific East Cafe as the sole full-stack developer.
Worked directly with Eli Popik to gather requirements, collect assets, review designs, and approve revisions.
Created public workflows for menus, ordering, catering, private parties, jobs, events, specials, reviews, gallery content, and accessibility.
Kept menu and image content editable after delivery so the client could make updates without changing source code.

Built an Astro and TypeScript application with shared layouts, reusable components, server-rendered pages, and API routes.
Used Cloudflare D1 for menu, form, review, and administrative data, and Cloudflare R2 for restaurant imagery and CDN delivery.
Integrated Resend for form notification emails and Toast for ordering and rewards workflows.
Added client-side and server-side validation, sanitization, upload restrictions, submission limits, and compatibility fallbacks for older database schemas.

Built admin controls for categories, items, prices, descriptions, visibility, ordering, Toast links, and images.
Implemented hot-swappable menu images with alternate-image selection, zoom, and positioning controls.
Created seven menu presentation variants with reusable shared menu cards and configured the Lakeside Light design for production.
Designed separate food and drink responsive layouts for desktop and mobile, including a collapsible mobile section selector.
Added analytics for page views, ordering, rewards, directions, phone calls, forms, menu categories, and scroll depth.
