Technical Achievement: Custom Cartridge Logic

Developed and maintained a headless storefront using PWA Kit. Implemented complex API integrations (OCAPI / SCAPI / SLAS) and payment solutions. Improved frontend performance and overall user experience.

Enterprise Checkout Optimization Integrated multiple payment methods (PayPal, Apple Pay, AfterPay). Enhanced checkout flow and reduced friction points. Contributed to improved conversion rates and checkout completion.
