Problem

Our client, a recent graduate from a coding bootcamp, was struggling to find employment as a full-stack developer due to their lack of experience in building complex applications. They had knowledge of Angular and Node software architecture and databases but needed to showcase their skills in a portfolio project that would impress potential employers.

After conducting research on what type of project would be most beneficial for our client, we discovered that incorporating fun elements such as leprechauns, castles, beer, Matrix movie, and Mortal Kombat into the application would make it stand out and showcase our client's creativity.

Solution

We proposed building an e-commerce platform for a fictional Irish pub that sold merchandise related to the aforementioned fun elements. The platform would allow users to browse products, add them to their cart, and checkout securely. We decided to use Angular for the front-end and Node.js for the back-end.

To ensure that our client's skills were showcased effectively, we made sure to incorporate various features such as user authentication, product search functionality using keywords or categories like "leprechaun" or "Mortal Kombat", payment gateway integration using Stripe API, order history tracking for users, admin panel with CRUD operations for products and orders management.

Impact

Increased our client's chances of getting hired as a full-stack developer by showcasing their skills in a real-world project.
Improved our client's knowledge of Angular and Node software architecture, databases, and e-commerce development.

"This project was a game-changer for me. I was able to showcase my skills in a fun and creative way that impressed potential employers. Thanks to the team for their hard work!"
