Project overview

A custom formula calculator for a nicotine salt and vape juice manufacturer, connected to saved formulas, product customization, and checkout.

My role

Full-Stack Developer; Sole Developer of Calculator Module

The problem

Turn configurable formula inputs into validated calculations and persist them as reusable, orderable product configurations.

What I delivered

  • Independently implemented the calculator frontend, multi-parameter formula logic, real-time recalculation, validation, and unit conversion.
  • Built Laravel APIs and persistence for customer formulas, saved-formula management, duplication, and editing.
  • Implemented administrator approval for publicly shared formulas.
  • Connected formulas to product customization, backend pricing, ordering, and checkout.

How the system fits together

Technical architecture Conceptual flow
  1. Formula inputs
  2. Validation & unit conversion
  3. Reactive calculations
  4. Saved formulas & approval
  5. Pricing & checkout

Engineering challenges

  • Coordinating reactive calculations, unit conversion, persisted formulas, and backend pricing.

Technical decisions

  • Keep calculation feedback immediate in the interface while using Laravel APIs for persistence and ordering integration.
