AI Hair Loss Detection Tool

https://scandinavianbiolabs.com/pages/trichoai
I created a Shopify-embedded UI tool for visitors to upload photos of their hair and scalp. This solution analyzes the images through an AWS-based AI model that determines hair issues that can be treated with company products. This tool is a Vue-based UI with AWS API integration that sends photos to the AI model.

Shopify Customer Portal to Administrate Subscriptions and Orders

https://scandinavianbiolabs.com/account
This project involved creating a Vue-based single-page application to replace the standard Shopify customer back end. It required REST and GraphQL API integration to Shopify core and recharge subscription services. The new implementation allows customers to add, swap, reschedule, change, cancel, remove, and skip products and subscriptions.

API Proxy App for 3rd-party API Integrations

This project involved developing a Shopify app that offers API endpoints through an app proxy, allowing front ends to use this API to securely communicate with 3rd-party services, including Klaviyo, AWS, ReferralCandy, and Shopify API.

Shopify Quiz App

https://scandinavianbiolabs.com/pages/hair-quiz
A tool that integrates SurveyJS into a Shopify app wrapper, offering a Shopify quiz generator. The solution was implemented as a Vue-based front end with metadata created by the survey back end. In addition, data is stored leveraging MongoDB.

Deployment Pipeline

https://scandinavianbiolabs.com
I created a Vite-based Shopify theme deployment setup, enabling project bundling and deployment in seconds over multiple different country shops. This resulted in a distinguished setup with dynamic imports to reduce JavaScript page load and individual script loads.

Medical Customer Data Analysis Dashboard

I developed a Nuxt-based back end to allow administrators to check statistical user mobile app submitted data on different graphical levels.
Graph representations leveraged Chart.js and included complex data range zooming. In addition, data storage was implemented through a Parse back-end server.
