## Story

Bureau of Trade combined editorial storytelling with merchandise curated from other marketplaces. Its catalog ranged from clothing and watches to vehicles and art.
I was the sole full-stack developer during the public beta, with most of my work focused on the frontend. I built responsive listing views, browsing interactions, and page transitions, and improved performance across product pages.

## Achievements

- Built a responsive storefront for Bureau of Trade's public beta launch.
- Built UI animations for product browsing and page transitions.
- Tuned site performance for faster product browsing.
