PORTFOLIO PROJECTS
Feature-Rich E-commerce Storefront MVP
Developed a comprehensive, production-ready e-commerce storefront application. This project began as an MVP for a Dutch company needing an online sales platform, addressing the challenge of building a fully functional solution from scratch. Leveraging a modern tech stack including Next.js (App Router, SSR), React, and TypeScript, I built a scalable platform with robust features. Key implementations include a complete Zustand-powered shopping cart, seamless user flow, and a responsive design styled with Tailwind CSS and Shadcn/UI. Animations using Framer Motion enhance the user experience, while Lucide React provides consistent iconography. The focus was on performance (via SSR), maintainability (with TypeScript), and reliability (through unit tests). This project showcases my ability to deliver complex web applications with a strong emphasis on user experience and technical excellence.
