Enhancing User Experience: Frontend Improvements and Admin Panel Creation

Week 7 was dedicated to improving the Jewelry E-Commerce project’s frontend, focusing on both user-facing features and administrative tools. I concentrated on fixing issues in the products section and refining the add-to-cart functionality to ensure a smoother shopping experience.

Collaborating closely with a team member, I also designed and developed the admin panel frontend, laying out an intuitive interface for product and order management. This panel will serve as the control center for admins to efficiently oversee store operations.

Through these tasks, I deepened my understanding of frontend frameworks and strengthened my teamwork skills, balancing design considerations with functional requirements.

Reflection: Frontend Functionality Meets User and Admin Needs

This week reminded me how vital frontend polish is to both user satisfaction and backend efficiency. Creating the admin panel also highlighted the importance of clear, accessible design in supporting effective business workflows.

Completed Highlights

  • Fixed and improved the products section on the frontend

  • Enhanced add-to-cart functionality for better user interaction

  • Collaborated on designing and implementing the admin panel frontend

  • Coordinated with team members to align frontend design and functionality

Week 2: Refactoring and Cloud Integration

Where the first week had grounded me in local backend development using Express.js and Node, this week pulled me into something far larger— the cloud . It started with an AWS setup tutorial that would lay the foundation for everything we were about to build. The transition from developing purely on my machine to understanding infrastructure-as-code was disorienting at first. AWS CDK was no longer just a buzzword—it was the bridge between code and scalable deployment. Node.js Conversion: Building on Familiar Ground While I explored the AWS ecosystem, I was also tasked with converting the Project Task Manager API —originally built in Week 1 using Express.js—into a more modular and cloud-ready Node.js vers...

Week 1: Orientation and Onboarding

  June 9–13, 2025 Christian M. Lagarde – 3rd Year Computer Science Student Bicol University The Digital Threshold Monday marked the start of a new chapter—not just another academic requirement, but the real-world application of everything I’d been studying for the past three years. As I joined the virtual orientation hosted by Mr. Mohammad Ali Fereydouni, our OJT manager at StraStan Solutions Corp., I was acutely aware of the transition that was taking place. We weren’t just students anymore. We were contributors. The meeting was brisk and purposeful. Mr. Fereydouni introduced StraStan not just as a company, but as a training ground where we would be treated like junior developers, not observers. Expectations were made clear. The workload would be real. And we would be held accountable. I welcomed the challenge. Infrastructure of Independence By Tuesday, we were setting up access to tools and resources. The remote desktop configuration, Chrome work profile setup, and environ...
