Complete redesign of the frontend based on Node.js. To do this, I developed a custom framework based on Express.js, including aweb socket management (real-time client / server notifications) and clustering (software load-balancing on the server's CPUs).
This framework integrates many features, all developed from end to end, such as:

• a whole ORM (based on MongoDB)
• a service-oriented architecture
• the internationalisation management
• a routing system using applicative middlewares (like the graphQL API, the website, a payment endpoint, image cache, ...)

• frontend templating system using Bootstrap 4, jQuery and Vue.js

Conception of a full GraphQL API on top of the RESTful Magento 2 API fixing many known Magento bugs and bringing other custom functionalities.

Conception of a Vue.js virtual tryon component that uses the camera to display glasses on top of the customer face in real time, including:

• a face tracker using machine learning (external package)
• a Threejs 3D rendering component
• a swiping component (like Facebook or Instagram filters) making possible to select different colors and tints

• project manager: management and monitoring of projects for my team and myself
• team manager: making sure my team evolve in the best working conditions
