Full-stack e-commerce platform on Node.js + React

Context

A standard e-commerce brief (storefront, cart, checkout, admin) built end-to-end on a React + Node.js stack over a multi-month engagement.

Problem

E-commerce is well-trodden but unforgiving on details: payment flow, inventory state, and order-confirmation reliability each have their own failure modes. The brief was to ship a coherent build rather than glue together three half-integrated SaaS products.

Approach

A React front end and a Node.js back end with API integration between the two, sized for the operator’s catalog and order volume. The stack choice was deliberate: same language across the stack, easier hand-off, fewer integration seams.

Solution

• React front end for the storefront, cart, and account surfaces.
• Node.js back end for product, cart, order, and admin APIs.
• REST API contract between the two layers.
• Standard e-commerce primitives (catalog, cart, checkout, order history, admin) all built on the same stack.

Outcome

Above. The 7–8 month engagement delivered the full-stack platform; the React/Node stack kept the seams minimal for ongoing maintenance.
