RecipeNest

RecipeNest is a sophisticated cross-platform recipe management ecosystem architected with a strict offline-first philosophy using the modern .NET 8 stack. Utilizing .NET MAUI for the client-side and ASP.NET Core for the backend, the system ensures seamless functionality across mobile and desktop devices regardless of network availability. The technical core of the project is its intelligent synchronization engine, which manages data reconciliation between a local SQLite store and a central PostgreSQL database. To maintain a Single Source of Truth, I implemented a shared data contract layer (DTOs) that enforces type safety across both the client and server during compile time. Key technical highlights include the integration of Tesseract OCR for digitizing physical media and the implementation of enterprise-grade patterns such as MVVM, Dependency Injection, and asynchronous background change tracking. This project demonstrates a deep understanding of complex data lifecycles, from local delta pushes to server-side conflict resolution, delivering a robust and scalable solution for modern data-driven applications.
