This is a production-grade, full-stack e-commerce solution engineered to bridge the gap between a high-end consumer storefront and a robust administrative suite. Named 'Stellify,' it is built with a decoupled architecture, ensuring that the business management logic remains separate from the user experience.
Key Features
• Admin Suite: Masterpiece media uploader (Cloudinary), Secure Archive for auditing, and Elite Coupons/Concierge CRM.
• User Storefront: Smart Discovery with multi-layered filtering, real-time search, and Dynamic Checkout (Stripe & COD).
Development Journey
• The Architecture Challenge: Managed state across dual frontends using a unified REST API with strict JWT-based middleware.
• Data Integrity: Redesigned MongoDB schema to ensure 'The Archive' remains immutable, preventing data loss.
• Optimization: Implemented lazy loading and asset optimization for 'Lightning Fast' performance.
Final Thoughts
This project reflects professional standards in full-lifecycle software development, moving beyond a simple 'shopping site' to a scalable Boutique Management System.
