Project Summary

Gorrion Software House developed an online store for a software company, building both frontend and backend in JavaScript and hosting on AWS. The platform imported products from AliExpress via an API, included an admin backend and Google Analytics integration, and stored user action data in Redshift for future recommendations. The client praised the UX, frontend, and Gorrion's communication and project management.
