Handmade Crafts / MarketplaceThe Challenge
Local artisans had no platform to reach customers beyond their immediate area. They struggled with payment processing, shipping logistics, and had no way to showcase their products to a global audience, limiting their income potential.
The Solution
I built a scalable Next.js marketplace with Supabase for real-time operations, AWS for global CDN, and multi-vendor management, enabling artisans to sell globally with some achieving 500% sales growth.

Local artisan sales vs. Global marketplace platform
Overview
A sophisticated handmade crafts marketplace built with Next.js that connects local artisans with global customers. The platform leverages Supabase for real-time database operations and authentication, ensuring data consistency and security. AWS services handle image storage and CDN delivery for optimal performance worldwide. I implemented a multi-vendor system where artisans can manage their own products, track sales, and handle shipping. The Node.js backend processes orders and manages inventory across multiple vendors. Advanced features include real-time chat between buyers and sellers, custom order requests, and an AI-powered recommendation engine. The platform helped small artisans scale their businesses globally, with some vendors seeing 500% growth in sales.
