Built a modern B2B wholesale platform connecting retailers to 200+ international brands and 2,000+ products designed to feel less like a dusty wholesale catalog and more like a premium retail experience.
The client's challenge was standing out in a wholesale space that's usually clunky and outdated. We focused on fast product discovery, clean category browsing, and a search experience (⌘K quick search) that feels closer to a modern SaaS app than a traditional wholesaler site.
What I handled:
Full-stack build with Next.js + React
Custom UI component system with Shadcn/ui
Fast product search & category filtering
Retailer-focused shop experience at scale (2,000+ products)
Order/checkout flow with ResolvePay integration
Cloud infrastructure on AWS for reliability at scale
Responsive design across mobile & desktop
The platform now serves 30,000+ happy retailers across 200+ brands, with a UX built to make bulk ordering fast and simple.
Tech stack: Next.js, React, Shadcn/ui, ResolvePay, AWS

After hours of debugging, I discovered the real issue wasn't Cursor AI—it was conflicting TypeScript types, broken imports, and outdated API logic. Refactored the React & Next.js codebase, cleaned up the architecture, and turned an unstable AI-generated project into a fast, production-ready web application.
Your website has less than 3 seconds to make a first impression.
A beautiful website that loads slowly can lose visitors before they even see your content.
When I build WordPress websites, I don't just focus on design—I also focus on performance.
Here are five things that make a real difference:
🚀 Compress and optimize images
⚡ Use lightweight themes and only the plugins you actually need
📱 Design mobile-first for a faster experience on every device
🔍 Optimize Core Web Vitals and page speed
🛡️ Keep WordPress, themes, and plugins updated for security and performance
Speed isn't just a technical metric.
It affects user experience, search visibility, and ultimately, conversions.
A fast website feels more professional, builds trust, and encourages visitors to stay longer.
