With few years' experience developing e-commerce web applications in Node.js.
My proposed approach:
Meet to review your specifications, priorities and timeline in detail. Determine optimal tech stack - Node, Express, MongoDB, theme engine like Pug.
Design portal architecture, database schemas, API routes and interactive wireframes.
Build user authentication with JWTs, hashing/salting for security. Users sign up/in and have customized profiles.
Integrate a payment gateway like Stripe to charge clients securely. Handle webhooks and automatically record transactions for reporting.
Create admin dashboard for managing products, users, themes.
Use MongoDB to store products, users, transactions and themes.
Write extensive tests for API routes, controllers and models.
Employ CI/CD for continuous integration and deployment. Monitor performance to optimize experience.
Through diverse full stack experience engineering scalable e-commerce solutions, my goals are:
Execute an effective development process to deliver a functional portal within a month.
Build an extensible foundation to support scaling traffic, payments and custom features over time.
I appreciate your consideration of my experience for this opportunity. My passion is using my abilities to benefit companies through intuitive digital experiences and robust back-end systems. I look forward to discussing the specifics of this role and how I can add value to your team.
