OVERVIEW

Built and maintained a full-stack e-commerce platform independently using Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. Implemented JWT-based authentication, product management, filtering, REST APIs, and an admin dashboard. Integrated Cloudinary for media management and Stripe for online payments, covering both customer-facing functionality and administrative workflows.

CHALLENGES

The main challenge was connecting multiple parts of the application into one reliable workflow. Authentication, product management, media uploads, payments, and the admin dashboard all depended on consistent communication between the frontend and backend. Designing the API flow and keeping the application manageable while adding new features required careful separation between UI, business logic, and data handling.
