Projects

Zenni Optical

Zenni Optical is an online eyewear retailer specializing in affordable prescription glasses, sunglasses, and eyewear accessories. The company was founded in 2003 and offers a wide range of eyewear styles, including metal, plastic, and rimless frames. They also provide prescription sunglasses, sports glasses, and eyewear accessories such as cases, cleaning cloths, and magnifying glasses. In 2021, Zenni Optical approached AllianceTek to revamp their website and update their legacy code. Their website was built using classic PHP, so we embarked on the task of converting it into a modern MERN stack website. As a senior full stack developer (or lead developer or project manager), my primary responsibility involved building their components, writing RESTful APIs, and seamlessly integrating the backend with the frontend.
