Executive summary
At OnyxTec I engineered My Local Gun Shop, a specialized React e-commerce storefront using Material UI and Redux with Laravel backend APIs — reducing page load latency by 26% and lifting user satisfaction metrics by 24%.
The problem
- A specialized catalog needed a responsive, reliable storefront.
- High-volume browsing, cart, and checkout interactions had to stay stable.
- UI had to be accessible, consistent, and maintainable.
The solution
- Engineered a React e-commerce interface with Material UI for consistent styling.
- Implemented a Redux state architecture for listings, cart, and checkout.
- Integrated Laravel backend APIs for product, pricing, and inventory data.
- Optimized UI rendering performance and component reuse.
