Core Application Development:
- Engineered a robust back-end with Python and Flask, featuring secure user authentication (including Google OAuth ), session management, and a full-featured RESTful API.
- Built a dynamic, mobile-first front-end using HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript, ensuring a responsive and accessible user experience across all devices.
- Architected and managed a PostgreSQL database to handle complex relationships between products, clients, orders, and financial transactions, ensuring data integrity and optimized query performance.
E-Commerce & Payment Integration:
- Successfully integrated the Paymob payment gateway API to process secure online credit card transactions, including handling payment callbacks, transaction verification, and processing refunds.
- Developed a complete order fulfillment workflow, allowing admins to manage inventory, update order statuses (Pending, Preparing, Delivered), and track payments for both online and cash-on-delivery orders.
- Implemented a sophisticated shopping cart and promo code system to enhance the customer purchasing journey.
Advanced Feature Implementation:
- Created a comprehensive, secure admin dashboard for end-to-end business management, including multilingual product management (add/update/remove), client account oversight, and order processing.
- Developed a powerful reporting and analytics engine, enabling admins to generate and download detailed sales reports, transaction logs, and customer data for business intelligence.
- Integrated the Google Mail API for automated, event-driven email notifications to customers for order confirmations, status updates, and password resets.
Performance & SEO Optimization:
- Dramatically improved page load times and user experience by implementing server-side pagination, lazy loading for product images, and image optimization (resizing and converting to modern WebP format).
- Enhanced search engine visibility by programmatically generating and serving `sitemap.xml` and `robots.txt` files, ensuring efficient crawling and indexing by Google.
- Implemented server-side caching for translations to deliver a high-performance, fully bilingual (English/Arabic) user interface with right-to-left (RTL) support.
Security & Best Practices:
- Secured the application against common web vulnerabilities by implementing CSRF protection, strict server-side input validation, and environment-based secret key management.
- Ensured all external API communications were conducted over secure (HTTPS) connections with proper SSL/TLS verification.
