NewsHub - Custom News Publishing Platform
Built from scratch a complete news portal with e-paper functionality using core web technologies. Developed a custom CMS with PHP and MySQL backend, Bootstrap 5 responsive frontend, and interactive features with Vanilla JavaScript.
The system includes role-based access control, real-time news updates, and a unique e-paper viewer with page-turning animation. Implemented server-side rendering for optimal SEO performance and fast page loads even with media-rich content.

Architecting a high-performance system for handling 100+ daily news updates, creating a mobile-friendly WYSIWYG editor for journalists, implementing secure user authentication, developing an e-paper PDF processor that maintains quality while reducing file size, and building an ad management system without third-party plugins.
