production platform Case study
Javaherian Gallery
A live watch and jewellery business runs on this WooCommerce platform, and I both build on it and run it day to day. That covers performance, product discovery, operational tooling, CRM workflows, reporting, frontend UX and the technical SEO decisions that move real sales.
The business problem
Javaherian Gallery is not a brochure site. It is a live WooCommerce store in the watches and jewellery market, where speed, catalogue accuracy, product discovery, checkout reliability and team workflows all influence revenue. I had to keep improving the platform without disrupting daily sales or leaving fragile one-off fixes behind.
What I delivered
- Led the online platform and development function while staying hands-on with WordPress, WooCommerce, frontend implementation and operational tooling.
- Built and maintained custom plugins and MU-plugins for performance, product workflows, admin operations, reporting and customer-facing improvements.
- Improved archive filtering, product-page performance, cart and checkout behaviour, CRM workflows, catalogue control and marketplace preparation.
- Coordinated technical work with a 12-person online team across sales, SEO, product support, CRM operations, design, social media and technical support.
Technical approach
- Started from production signals: TTFB, slow archives, database pressure, Action Scheduler load, transient growth, REST/API noise, bot traffic and admin friction.
- Used explicit WooCommerce hooks, safe cache boundaries, route guards, data snapshots and rollback-friendly plugin structures instead of theme-level shortcuts.
- Kept checkout, account, cart and personalized states away from unsafe caching while improving the public browsing and product-discovery experience.
- Connected engineering decisions with SEO, product data quality, reporting needs and the sales team’s actual daily workflow.
Result and evidence
The platform improved in ways the team can measure. Archives and product pages got faster, background-job pressure dropped, and bot noise on expensive routes fell. The internal workflows for product, sales and management work got cleaner too.
Commercial value
This is how I work best. I take ownership of a live commerce platform, find the parts that slow the business down, and ship practical systems that improve speed, reliability, control and customer experience without destabilising the store.

}What this project shows
Javaherian Gallery shows that I can work beyond isolated tickets. I can own a production WooCommerce platform, read both business and technical signals, and translate them into safe engineering changes that support sales, SEO, operations and customer experience.
For an employer or client, this is my clearest proof as a senior software engineer who owns a live commerce platform: hands-on development, platform-level judgment, measurable performance thinking, and plain communication with the people who use the system every day.
