Role
Full-stack developer responsible for the Django backend, templates, shopping flow, REST endpoints, and deployment.
Live
Django Music Shop
A full-stack Django e-commerce demo for browsing music, managing a cart, checking out, and using account features.
Problem
I wanted to build something more complete than a static catalog: a realistic store with carts, accounts, order history, API endpoints, and enough moving parts to practice how full-stack Django apps fit together.
Solution
I built a Django shop with database-backed products, a session cart, checkout flow, user accounts, favorites, AJAX search suggestions, demo media, and Django REST Framework endpoints for albums, tracks, and search.
Key features
Session-based cart
Checkout with orders and order items
User registration, login, dashboard, and order history
Favorites system
AJAX search suggestions
REST API endpoints
Demo media and test coverage
What I learned
This project helped me understand how e-commerce features depend on clean model relationships, reliable view logic, repeatable test coverage, and careful handling of user/session state.
Future improvements
Payment provider integration
Stronger product management screens
Improved API documentation
Production monitoring
Have something similar in mind?
