The problem

Artists and galleries juggle disconnected tools for portfolios, inventory, sales, customer communication, invoicing, and shipping — fragmenting their business and limiting growth.

Cross-platform art marketplace and business operating platform for artists, galleries, and collectors — artwork discovery, digital portfolios, inventory, CRM, secure payments, invoicing, and shipping in one ecosystem.

Overview

Cohart is an AI-powered art marketplace and business management platform built for artists, galleries, collectors, curators, and art fairs. Beyond an online marketplace, it is a complete business operating platform: artists and galleries manage artwork, engage collectors, process sales, organize exhibitions, generate invoices, and maintain customer relationships through professional digital portfolios.

Collectors discover original artwork through AI-powered personalized recommendations, follow artists and galleries, message sellers directly, purchase securely, and build personal collections. The platform covers inventory states (available, reserved, sold, private), CRM with purchase history and lead management, Stripe payments, invoicing, and shipping coordination — plus mobile business tools for in-person sales and art fair workflows.

As Senior React Native / Full-Stack Developer, I built and maintained the cross-platform mobile application and its integration with the marketplace ecosystem: reusable components, navigation flows, artwork/inventory APIs, marketplace workflows, Stripe checkout, and Firebase Cloud Messaging + APNs notifications.

I also owned performance — API optimization, lazy loading, image optimization, state-management improvements — and supported Android and iOS releases with production debugging and long-term maintenance.

What I built

  • Built and maintained the cross-platform React Native app — reusable components, responsive UI, and navigation flows for Android and iOS.
  • Integrated REST APIs for artwork, inventory, and marketplace workflows — listings, artist/gallery profiles, collections, search, and discovery.
  • Implemented Stripe payments: checkout workflow, payment processing, order management, and purchase history.
  • Integrated Firebase Cloud Messaging and APNs push notifications; optimized performance (lazy loading, image optimization, state management) and supported store releases.

Highlights

  • Unified marketplace + business management platform for the art world
  • AI-powered artwork discovery and personalized recommendations
  • Inventory management and CRM for artists and galleries
  • Stripe-secured checkout with invoicing and shipping coordination
  • Real-time notifications via FCM (Android) and APNs (iOS)
  • Cross-platform app shipped to the App Store and Google Play
