HOUSE OF FASHION

From maintenance to innovation and next‑gen architecture.

E‑Commerce Platform for Sri Lanka’s Fashion Industry

The House of Fashion project is a complete headless e‑commerce solution designed for one of the most prominent fashion retailers in Sri Lanka. It integrates a Laravel backend with a WordPress‑powered frontend and connects seamlessly to Shopify’s ecosystem for retail scalability. This enterprise system manages end‑to‑end online business operations. Crafted as a part of Ecom Lanka Service.

My role involved maintaining the platform and leading the development of new features to improve user experience, streamline backend processes, and enhance system integrations — ensuring the client’s competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving digital retail market as a part of Ecom Lanka Services.
