Project Overview
While working with the GAPCommerce team, I had the opportunity to contribute to the development of multiple high-performance e-commerce multi-store platforms. Each platform was built using modern web technologies including Next.js, GraphQL, CSS Modules, and Prismic Headless CMS, providing seamless shopping experiences for customers and powerful management tools for store owners.
