Noble Spending
A full-stack personal finance application built with Next.js for expense tracking, budgeting, and financial insights.
Timeline
Built as a standalone full-stack project with iterative UI and data-model improvements.
Role & Scope
Owned end-to-end development: frontend pages/components, backend APIs, data modeling, and deployment setup.
Team Setup
Independent project with personal design and product decisions.
Context
Problem: Users needed an intuitive self-hosted finance tool with modern UX, without relying on third-party services for sensitive transaction data.
