A clearer path through green-card planning.

Product architecture and full-stack engineering · 2026

A bilingual, source-backed informational guide to U.S. green card pathways, with pathway browsing, checklist flows, official-source tracking, admin review tools, and freshness operations.

Informational only, not legal advice; users should verify decisions against official sources.

The problem

Permanent-residency information is spread across pathway families, forms, evidence requirements, and changing official guidance. A useful guide must make the next step understandable without pretending to replace legal advice.

What I owned

  • Product architecture, full-stack engineering, structured content system, public information design, and freshness workflow.

Key decisions

  • Organize the product around pathway exploration and question-led process guides instead of one universal eligibility quiz.
  • Keep source traceability and review/freshness operations inside the product rather than treating content as static marketing copy.
  • State the informational boundary prominently and route consequential decisions back to official sources.

What was delivered

  • Covers all 48 immigrant-visa pathways with English and Spanish routing and 48 pathway detail pages.
  • Includes checklist support for 17 supported combinations, printable results, document library, FAQ, glossary, public feedback, and admin surfaces.
  • Built with Next.js App Router, React, TypeScript, OpenNext Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare KV, Vitest, and Wrangler.

Evidence

  • The live bilingual site exposes pathway exploration, process guides, document-library routing, glossary/FAQ support, and printable checklist flows.
  • Approved captures show the home, pathway explorer, document library, and process-guide entry surfaces.

Result

  • Large structured immigration-information product with deterministic checklist rules and official-source traceability.
  • Deploy workflow includes launch validation and a separate freshness worker.

Implementation

  • Next.js
  • React
  • Cloudflare Workers
  • KV
  • TypeScript
