The Hive Office Solutions
The Hive Office Solutions is a comprehensive e-commerce platform specializing in innovative cable management products. As the founder and lead developer, I spearheaded the development of a full-stack web application that showcases our patented 'HoneyComb' cable management system. The platform features a complete e-commerce solution with user authentication, admin dashboard, inventory management, and checkout functionality. The project involved coordinating a 4-person team through product design, prototyping, user testing, and web development phases. The integrated inventory management system uses microservices architecture to efficiently track product stock levels, making inventory monitoring seamless for the business operations.
