Executive summary
At OnyxTec I architected Outreside, a React and Node e-commerce platform with a headless WordPress CMS integrated via REST APIs — improving application performance by 30% and reducing deployment cycles by 25% across a high-traffic storefront.
The problem
- A high-traffic storefront needed scalable e-commerce across browsing and checkout.
- Dynamic product content required flexible, decoupled content management.
- The frontend had to stay maintainable as storefront features grew.
The solution
- Architected a React frontend and Node backend for scalable e-commerce functionality.
- Integrated a headless WordPress CMS through REST APIs for dynamic content.
- Designed reusable React component architecture across product and admin flows.
- Optimized frontend asset delivery and application state management.
