About this project
Users needed a way to browse events, pay securely, and receive booking confirmation — all in one flow. I built the frontend with Next.js and the backend with Express and MongoDB, connecting them through a REST API. The trickiest part was the SCB Sandbox payment integration: their API requires a signed HMAC request body with specific headers, which took significant debugging to get right. Once payment completes, Resend fires a confirmation email built with React Email.
- SCB Sandbox payment API with HMAC-signed requests

- JWT auth stored in httpOnly cookies — no localStorage exposure
