This project was a huge success and quite a technical achievement. Gary was able to deliver a fully functional auction platform in a relatively short time frame. The auction ran flawlessly and we raised a lot of money for charity.

Project Overview
The Eastpak Artist Studio auction represented a unique fusion of fashion, art, and philanthropy. I developed a mission-critical digital platform to showcase and auction one-of-a-kind backpacks reimagined by world-renowned designers including Jean Paul Gaultier. This high-profile 24-hour event required a bulletproof technical foundation to handle intense bidding competition while maintaining absolute transaction integrity.
As sole developer, I architected and implemented the entire auction ecosystem from concept to deployment. The platform featured individual eBay-style listings for each artist's creation, complete with real-time bid tracking, instant notifications, and secure payment processing. Every aspect was engineered to create excitement and urgency, ultimately maximizing contributions to the Designers Against AIDS charity initiative.
