01Overview
The story
A growing clothing brand wanted to sell online without depending on marketplaces. They needed a store that loads fast on budget phones and shows up on Google, plus an admin panel their small team could run the business from. I built both, and the server in between.

03Challenge
Selling more than what's in stock
The problem
During a sale, two customers could buy the last piece of an item at the same moment.
How I solved it
Stock is now checked and reduced in a single step, so the same item can never be sold twice.
04Challenge
Slow category pages
The problem
Big categories with lots of filters took a few seconds to load.
How I solved it
I rewrote the product search and saved the most popular results, so category pages now open almost instantly.
