Here's a professional description for your freelancing profile:
E-Commerce Store — React Frontend
A fully responsive e-commerce storefront built in React, replicating the core shopping experience of platforms like Daraz. Products are fetched in real time from the DummyJSON API, with client-side state managed entirely through Redux Toolkit.
The app covers the complete user journey — browsing a product grid, viewing detailed product pages, managing a cart with quantity controls, and authenticated login/signup flows. React Router handles all navigation with clean, bookmarkable URLs.
Key highlights:
Cart state persisted and managed via Redux Toolkit (add, remove, update quantity)
Dynamic product detail pages with route-based data fetching
Skeleton loaders for a polished loading experience
Fully responsive layout built with Tailwind CSS
Deployed on Vercel with zero-config CI

SPA Booking Calendar — React + Odoo Integration
A full-featured, multi-tenant booking management frontend built in React, designed to integrate seamlessly with a custom spa_management Odoo module via a token-based API (no session cookies).
Core features include a KPI home dashboard (invoices, revenue, staff, contacts), a rich calendar with Day / Week / Month / Quarter / Year views, a 15-minute-slot drag-and-drop Day scheduler for creating, moving, and resizing bookings across employees, and an inline booking wizard covering customer selection, service picker, and auto-filled duration.
The invoicing flow supports draft creation, posting, and accurate financial figures computed server-side in Odoo. Additional pages cover contacts, products, employees, and a full bookings list (including cancelled entries). Portal users are blocked — staff-only access.
Multi-tenant by design: the frontend auto-resolves the API base URL and Odoo database from the subdomain, so a single build serves every client. Adding a new tenant requires zero code changes.
