Problem

Serupa needed its own ticketing platform: organizers publish events with ticket tiers, attendees find events and get free or paid tickets online, and every order ends in a ticket that can be shown at the door. Two freelance engineers built it as three apps between June and August 2025.

Contribution

I set up the API on Express 5 and Bun with routes, controllers, services and repositories over PostgreSQL and Drizzle, plus Helmet, rate limiting, structured logs, seed data and GitHub Actions deploys.
I built accounts and events in the API: JWT access and refresh tokens, email verification and password reset, user and admin roles, event search with filters, a Redis event cache with invalidation, rate-limited view counts and S3 uploads for event covers and profile photos.
I built the attendee site in Next.js with TanStack Query, from event discovery and search to event pages with ticket tiers. It includes a free-ticket flow, checkout with a payment method choice, payment result pages and My Tickets with QR codes, plus SEO metadata and a sitemap.
I turned a v0-generated scaffold into the organizer dashboard and connected sign-in and event creation, editing and listing, with sub-categories and a location map, to the API.
My teammate built ticket orders and payments in the API: quota and per-user limits, payment links and callbacks for QRIS, cards, e-wallets and virtual accounts, PDF invoices, status emails and Socket.IO payment events. My checkout and My Tickets pages call those endpoints.
