Custom Laravel eCommerce Engine with Autonomous AI Assistant

A full-stack development of a high-performance eCommerce platform built from the ground up. The project focuses on combining robust backend architecture with modern AI-driven user experiences.

Here is the updated version in English, incorporating the Nova Poshta and Payment Gateway integrations in the same professional, technical style:

Key Technical Implementations:

Core Development: Built a robust e-commerce structure on the Laravel framework, including advanced logic for categories, brands, and product management.

Logistics & Payments: Integrated Nova Poshta API for automated city/warehouse selection and implemented secure Payment Gateway (LiqPay/Monobank) for real-time transaction processing.

AI Integration: Developed an intelligent consultant using OpenAI API. The assistant is context-aware, providing real-time product recommendations and support based on the store's database.

Scalable Architecture: Implemented Service Layers within Laravel 12 to decouple business logic (AI, Logistics, and Payments) for a clean, maintainable, and scalable codebase.

Database Engineering: Designed a relational database schema in MySQL (MariaDB), focusing on optimized queries, indexing, and scalable migrations.

Modern Frontend: Built a seamless UI using Ajax and jQuery for asynchronous interactions (shopping cart updates, checkout forms, and AI chat) without page reloads.

Server & Deployment: Hands-on experience with VPS/VDS deployment. Configured Nginx web servers on Linux (Ubuntu) and managed SSL (HTTPS) certifications for production security.

Technical Stack:
Backend: PHP 8.3, Laravel 12.
Database: MySQL / MariaDB.
Frontend: JavaScript (ES6+), Ajax, jQuery, Bootstrap.
DevOps: Linux (Ubuntu), Nginx, Git, SSH.
APIs: Nova Poshta API, Payment Gateways (LiqPay/Monobank), OpenAI API.
