Voter Match

Problems it solves:

• Centralizes petition workflows (campaign setup, formats, circulators, signature entry and validation).
• Enforces fine-grained permissions and team-based access.
• Integrates voter search via an external service (Directus-backed Elasticsearch) for validation.
• Prevents duplicate signers per campaign using Redis.
• Manages invitations and onboarding via Supabase.

Full-Stack Development with Supabase

I built extensive production experience building scalable, multi-tenant applications using Supabase as the primary backend infrastructure during this project. My work demonstrates deep knowledge across the entire Supabase ecosystem:

Authentication & Session Management

• Implemented SSR-compatible authentication using @supabase/ssr across Next.js App Router
• Built custom middleware with cookie-based session handling that refreshes auth tokens on every request
• Designed role-based access control combining Supabase Auth with custom PostgreSQL RPC functions
• Created seamless client/server authentication patterns with consistent session handling across browser clients, Server Components, and Server Actions

Database Architecture

• Designed and maintained complex PostgreSQL schemas using Supabase migrations
• Leveraged PostgREST for efficient data querying with nested relations, filtering, and pagination
• Implemented Row Level Security (RLS) policies to enforce data access at the database level
• Built custom stored procedures (RPC) for business logic and authorization checks
• Used advanced query patterns including !inner joins, foreign key traversal, and aggregate counts

Edge Functions

• Developed Deno-based Edge Functions for transactional emails, webhooks, and batch processing
• Integrated Edge Functions with external APIs and third-party services
• Implemented service role access patterns for privileged operations
• Built invocation patterns from Next.js using supabase.functions.invoke()

Storage & Security

• Configured Supabase Storage buckets with structured upload paths
• Implemented secure file access using signed URLs with expiration
• Built reusable hooks and utilities for consistent Storage API usage

Production Patterns

• Centralized Supabase client creation for consistent configuration
• Separated concerns between anonymous and service role keys
• Implemented proper error handling and type safety across the stack
• Designed maintainable migration history for schema evolution

This experience spans the full Supabase platform in a production environment, demonstrating both technical depth and architectural decision-making for real-world applications.
