struppilog.com – Digital health record for pets / MVP → Full Product

Design, development, and full further development of a digital health platform for pets – from my own MVP development to a fully built and production-ready platform.

Independent concept and development of the MVP Development of the full application with Flutter/Dart and Firebase Expansion of the MVP into a full digital health record with health data, findings, allergies, medications, documents, and emergency data Development of user registration, authentication, roles, data models, and secure user interactions Implementation of QR-code-based data exchange and digital interaction features Development of a multilingual, responsive web application Integration of AI-supported features and AI/agentic workflows Development and continuous improvement of product logic, UX/UI, and technical architecture Building and expanding a scalable cloud-based solution with Firebase Integration and further development of APIs and external services Use of AI-native / agentic engineering to speed up development, testing, debugging, and product iteration Independent implementation of all other features and technical extensions Continuous further development of the MVP into a full digital product

Impact: The MVP I built myself was continuously developed technically and functionally into a broad, production-ready platform – including frontend, backend, data model, authentication, UX/UI, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and ongoing product development.

PLANT-MY-TREE®-per-order

The application enables Shopify merchants to automatically place tree-planting orders for every incoming order. By integrating ecological contributions directly into the purchase process, the manual effort for tracking and billing reforestation initiatives is eliminated. The system increases transparency for end customers through real-time visualizations of the ecological impact directly in the storefront. The architecture is based on a modular monolith with Spring Boot in the backend and an integrated React app inside the Shopify admin area. The solution uses webhooks to capture order data in an event-driven way and integrates the weclapp ERP system for automated monthly invoicing. An app proxy mechanism provides dynamic statistics such as CO2 compensation and planted trees without any performance loss for the merchant shop.

Tasks:

• Design of the modular software architecture based on Spring Modulith to ensure high maintainability
• Development of the event-driven business logic for evaluating Shopify orders via webhooks
• Implementation of automated invoicing by connecting the weclapp REST API
• Building the frontend using React Router and Shopify App Bridge for native integration
• Design of the database model and implementation of the persistence layer with JPA/Hibernate and Prisma
• Integration of internationalization processes for global use in the frontend and email communication
• Automation of deployment processes using Docker and GitLab CI/CD
