MedFreela
Healthcare professional hiring platform
Full-stack platform connecting healthcare institutions with freelance health professionals in Angola. Features a complete hire-to-payment flow: shift scheduling, escrow-based payments via Multicaixa Express, earnings dashboard, and a full administrative panel — all server-rendered and deployed on a Linux VPS.
The Problem
Healthcare institutions in Angola had no reliable, digital way to hire qualified freelance professionals on demand. Existing solutions were generic and didn't account for local payment infrastructure (no Stripe/PayPal), Angolan ID validation, or local terminology.
Key Features
- ▸Custom escrow payment system — no Stripe, built for Multicaixa Express and TPA
- ▸Angolan BI number validation (9 digits + 2 letters + 1 digit) implemented from scratch
- ▸Server-side rate limiting with Redis to block brute-force on auth routes
- ▸Role-based access: healthcare institutions, freelance professionals, and admins
- ▸Image upload pipeline with sharp — resizes and converts to WebP server-side
- ▸Zod schema validation on all server actions before any database write
- ▸PM2 process manager with separate cron worker — survives crashes in production
