What I Learned

Building this e-commerce platform deepened my understanding of full-stack development and taught me how to handle complex application state, implement secure authentication flows, and integrate third-party payment systems. I gained valuable experience in database optimization, implementing efficient search functionality, and creating intuitive user interfaces for both customers and administrators. The project also reinforced the importance of security best practices in handling sensitive user and payment data.
