Problem
Portfolio e-commerce demos often stop at basic CRUD. Real stores need variant catalogs, payment flows, admin operations, mobile UX, SEO, and test coverage that catches regressions across the stack.

MERN's Shop
Production-style electronics store for phones, tablets, TVs, and consoles — catalog browsing with variants and filters, guest and registered checkout via PayPal sandbox, admin panel for products/orders/users, installable PWA with web push, SEO for crawlers, and ATDD with Playwright + Vitest. Modernized from a 2021 Udemy exercise to a 2026 portfolio centerpiece on MongoDB Atlas and Render.
Live electronics e-commerce with ~170 products, PayPal checkout, admin ops, installable PWA, and 100+ automated tests.

Approach
I built a deployable MERN app with a rich gadget catalog, PayPal checkout, httpOnly cookie auth, admin workflows, PWA + push notifications, and ATDD — acceptance tests first, then integration and unit layers, with CI gates on every push.
