Bhatkal Time Luxe
Delivered · HubZero's first paid client project
A luxury watch storefront for a retailer serving Kuwait and the wider GCC, and HubZero's first paid client project. I built and deployed it end to end, from the architecture to the servers it runs on.
Delivered by HubZero. I handled architecture, full-stack development and infrastructure; a HubZero co-founder handled the visual design.

Who did what
This was a HubZero engagement. I was responsible for the architecture, the full-stack implementation, the database and the infrastructure. The visual design was done by one of my HubZero co-founders.
What was built
- A Next.js App Router storefront, deployed on Vercel.
- A separate Node.js API running on a self-hosted Ubuntu server, backed by MongoDB.
- An image pipeline through Cloudinary with imgix in front for delivery.
- Server-rendered pages with JSON-LD and a sitemap, so the catalogue is crawlable.
Why it is here
It was HubZero's first paid client project, and the first time I carried paid software from architecture through to production infrastructure for another business.
