Scalable e-commerce platform serving 200K+ users with modern frontend, real-time inventory management, and integrated payment processing.

The Challenge

The client was outgrowing their existing e-commerce solution—slow page loads, inventory sync issues, and limited customization. They needed a purpose-built platform that could handle their growing catalog and customer base without the overhead of a large development team.

The Solution

We built a custom e-commerce platform from the ground up: a fast React frontend with SSR, a Node.js API with real-time inventory tracking, Stripe payment integration, and automated order fulfillment. The entire system was built and deployed by our small team in under 8 weeks.

FAQs

How much does it cost? +

Complete projects start at $2,000. I give you a fixed price after a free 30-minute call — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

How fast can you deliver? +

Most MVPs go live in 2–4 weeks. Larger projects run in 2-week sprints with a live demo every week so you always see progress.

Who will actually build my product? +

Me. Personally. I have 10+ years of experience and I handle everything — frontend, backend, infrastructure, deployment. No outsourcing.

What makes you different from agencies? +

No overhead. You talk directly to me — the person writing the code. That means faster decisions, better output, and lower cost.

What if I need changes after launch? +

You get 30 days of free post-launch support included. After that, I offer affordable monthly retainers or project-based work.

What technologies do you use? +

SvelteKit, React, FastAPI, Node.js, Python, Rust, Solidity, React Native, Flutter — I pick what fits your project, not what's trendy.

Can one person really handle everything? +

Yes. Frontend, backend, infrastructure, mobile, and Web3. With 10+ years of experience and AI-accelerated workflows, I consistently deliver what agencies need 10 people to build.

Do you use AI to write code? +

Yes. I use AI as a force multiplier — for code generation, review, testing, and documentation. It's why I ship 3x faster than traditional developers. But every line is reviewed, tested, and refined by me before it touches your project.

Is your code production-ready? +

Yes. Every project I deliver is production-grade — tested, optimized, secure, and deployed to real infrastructure. I don't hand off prototypes. You get code that's ready for real users from day one.

What if my project doesn't work out? +

You own everything I build — every line of code, every design file. If you want to walk away or bring in another team, you can. No lock-in.
