For Astral Putters, I led the design and development of Nova—an OpenAI-powered fitting assistant plus an internal admin portal—built with Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, and a modern UI stack. The public-facing experience ships as embeddable widgets (chat + an interactive hosel configuration tool) that run inside the Shopify storefront via iframe, while the admin side supports analytics, operations, and marketing workflows. On the Shopify side, I engineered a reliable recommendation-to-checkout flow: Nova maps fitting specs to the correct Shopify variant, persists selections across sessions, and sends add-to-cart payloads that match PDP behavior (including option-based variant resolution, line-item properties for global options, and cart drawer opening). I also implemented session persistence, rate limiting, and performance optimizations (caching, parallelized queries, progressive loading) to keep the experience fast and production-ready.
