Rebuilt Alokai’s developer documentation using Nuxt and created a project-scaffolding CLI that reduced engineering onboarding time from 3 days to 15 minutes.

Alokai (formerly Vue Storefront) is a leading composable commerce platform used by enterprise eCommerce teams. I was hired to modernize the developer experience, which at the time suffered from outdated docs, manual onboarding steps, and unclear implementation flows.

I helped rebuilt the entire documentation website using Nuxt, improved navigation, rewrote essential guides, and introduced a custom CLI tool that automated the full setup process.

This transformed the onboarding experience for partner agencies and internal teams, reducing friction and making Alokai far more accessible to new developers.

Help rebuilt the documentation frontend using Nuxt from the ground up

Major rewrite of key documentation pages

Custom CLI (npx create-alokai-app)

Automated dev environment setup

Production-ready starter templates for new projects
