TechHiveMind - A Full-Stack E-commerce Platform
A personal initiative to master the end-to-end complexities of a modern e-commerce system. The platform handles the entire commercial lifecycle: from product and inventory management to secure user authentication and real-world payment processing with Paystack.
The Challenge
The main goal was to architect a secure and scalable full-stack application from the ground up. This involved tackling complex challenges such as secure user authentication (JWT), state management for a dynamic shopping cart, and integrating an African payment gateway (Paystack) for real-world transactions.
The Solution
I built a complete MERN stack application with a RESTful API backend using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. Redis was implemented for high-performance caching. The Next.js frontend provides a fast, responsive UI, while the Paystack API was fully integrated on both the client and server to handle secure payments and order confirmation.
