The client produces welding and cutting equipment and consumables and has over 50 B2B sites supporting its business globally. We have implemented this project using SAP Commerce Cloud.

I was in charge of customer requirements, solution design, technical specification, development, and release management. My tasks included performing Infor M3 system integration with SAP Commerce Cloud and designing the solution to build group business sites on the same SAP commerce landscape.

The project involved building an online marketplace where users could browse and purchase products from various sellers. The platform also included a seller dashboard for managing their products, orders, and inventory.

Key accomplishments:
• Worked on both the front-end and back-end of the application.
• Implemented the user authentication system using JWT and bcrypt for password encryption.
• Built the product search and filtering functionality using MongoDB queries.
• Designed and developed the product listing page, shopping cart, and checkout flow using React.
• Created the seller dashboard with features such as product management, order management, and inventory tracking using Redux for state management.
• Integrated AWS S3 for storing and retrieving product images.
• Wrote server-side API endpoints using Node.js and Express.js.

I was a team lead on a project for an online provider of commercial kitchen replacement parts, actively participating in the end-to-end project lifecycle. They needed to enhance and upgrade their Hybris platform.

In addition to customizing the cockpit and Hybris management console (HMC), I designed a blog platform through a web content management system (WCMS) for the legacy site. Furthermore, I performed Paya payment integration for card authentication and many other enhancement interventions with tools and features such as Solr, data modeling, Groovy Scripting, ImpEx, cronjobs, Business Process Engine, cart, checkout, cockpits, and HMC.

This project aimed to serve B2B customers of a supplier of automotive chemicals, fasteners, hand tools, and electrical supplies by offering a significantly improved personalized shopping experience across devices, seamless integration with SAP, and better self-serve capabilities.

I managed software development and technical and design document preparation while actively participating in code quality initiatives across different projects. My other task was to provide a technical analysis of the shortcomings and limitations of the existing system and procedures and propose to address them with a Hybris-recommended solution.

In addition to facilitating the architecture, design, code versioning, releases, branching strategy, and go-live activities using Git, Jenkins, and Jira, I set up a web server, application server, and cache server.

Apart from all standard Hybris modules, I worked on the SAP Hybris B2B punch-out for the Coupa system and with BMEcat to export the catalog.

I recently had the opportunity to work on a recommendation engine using Python. The project aimed to create a system that could recommend products to users based on their past behavior and preferences.

Firstly, I worked closely with the project team to gather data on user behavior and product information. We used Python libraries such as Pandas and NumPy to preprocess and clean the data, removing duplicates or irrelevant information.

Next, I focused on developing the machine learning model to power the recommendation engine. I used Python libraries such as scikit-learn and TensorFlow to develop a content-based filtering model that analyzes user behavior and product attributes to generate recommendations.

With the machine learning model in place, I integrated it into a web application using Python web frameworks such as Flask or Django. I also tested the application extensively, using tools such as pytest and Selenium to ensure it was functioning correctly.

A global eCommerce B2B solution based on the SAP Hybris v6.0 platform for a major pharmaceutical company.

As an SAP Hybris developer, I was engaged in the complete system development lifecycle of the application, from initial project planning through requirements gathering, analysis, design, development of the front-end and back-end functionalities, database, testing, and implementation.

I assisted the team with the design based on the SAP Hybris best practices, development, and creation of logical and physical entity relationship diagrams of the systems integrated with the web-based and eCommerce applications. Additionally, I performed code reviews with the technical leads and developers, recommended optimal technical practices and methodologies, and worked on the reporting implementation on the storefront and the WCMS and SAP integration.

A consumer electronics website that represents my first steps into eCommerce. On this project, I worked on the Hybris Telco Accelerator for their eCommerce needs.

My engagement spanned various aspects of the application, including initial requirement gathering, design phase, back-end development, and front-end implementation. I also implemented a wishlist and cashing for product inventory using Hazelcast cache and worked on the telco bundle, cronjobs, cockpits, HMC, Solr, and WCMS on the SAP Hybris platform.

Besides generating dynamic forms using YForms and creating a custom control with Orbeon, I used JAXB, JMS, and Apache ActiveMQ for EPC bundle implementation. Third-party integrations with SAP Hybris were achieved using REST, JMS, and SOAP APIs. Those solutions include IBM Sterling order and inventory management, TIBCO, Jio CNUM, IDAM, CAF, Cash on Delivery, JioMoney, and BillDesk.

Finally, I implemented caching for product inventory using the Hazelcast cache server and participated in the infrastructure setup and performance testing.

I managed a team of 10 developers for this project, providing support and quality assurance coordination. Gathering the requirements based on the functional specification document, I exposed the collaboration product functionalities by implementing a REST API, applying existing criteria in new ways, and drawing conclusions from comparable situations. My responsibilities also included implementing a cluster environment for the product, developing new modules or changing old ones, and preparing a REST API design document.
