E-commerce platform rebuild

A retail business

A rebuild of a retail client's online store with a four-person team. I owned the backend API and the payment integration.

Team: Team of 4
Built with: Node.js and Express for the API, PostgreSQL for the catalogue and orders, and Stripe for payments.
Result: Page load times cut by about 40%.

What I did

I was one of four people rebuilding a retail client’s online store. My part was the backend: the API the storefront runs on, and the payment integration with Stripe.

Result

The rebuilt store loads pages in roughly 40% less time than the one it replaced.
