Alexander's Antiques
Lead Full-Stack Engineer · Freelance
Built a Manhattan gallery's own platform end to end — Next.js storefront, Vite staff workbench, and NestJS API — and launched it at alexanderantiques.com with 939 pieces migrated from 1stDibs.
- Delivered ~130K LOC across storefront, admin, and a 138-route NestJS API, authoring 89% of commits behind a 4,300+ test quality gate.
- Shipped both apps on fixtures first, then cut over to the API through 16 repository ports; a parity suite proved all 83 methods before launch.
- Ran a report-first 1stDibs migration of 917 pieces into a four-level, 124-category taxonomy — idempotent, and refusing to write on a count mismatch.
- Built inquiry-not-checkout selling: phone-OTP collectors, six inquiry types, two-way threads with images, and staff letters logged with their trace.
