E-Commerce Web Platform
Full-stack e-commerce platform built for a specialty retailer, handling product catalog, orders, and customer accounts.
Challenge
A specialty retailer was running their online store on a hosted platform that couldn’t support their product customization requirements or integrate with their internal inventory system. Order management was manual, error-prone, and couldn’t scale with their growth.
Approach
Built a custom full-stack platform with a React frontend and Django REST API backend deployed on AWS. The data model was designed around their specific product configuration needs, with direct integration to their existing inventory database. The goal was feature parity with their old platform on day one, then iterative improvement from there.
Results
The platform launched on schedule and handled the client’s seasonal traffic spike without issues. Order processing time dropped significantly due to automated inventory sync, and the client gained the ability to offer product customizations that were previously impossible. The system has been running in production with minimal maintenance overhead since launch.
