PhoneHub – AI-Powered E-commerce Platform

I’m putting together a full-stack e-commerce application, PhoneHub, and I need an experienced developer who can take it from architecture to deployment. The storefront will run on React + Vite with Tailwind CSS for styling, while the API layer will rely on Python, FastAPI, and SQLModel.

Key piece of the build is an AI shopping assistant whose main job is to generate recommendations. It must surface related accessories, current best-sellers, and truly personalized suggestions drawn from each visitor’s behaviour. I plan to power this with ChromaDB and a RAG-style retrieval flow, so familiarity with vector databases and prompt engineering is a plus.

Core platform requirements
• JWT authentication and role-based access
• Product catalogue with bulk upload support
• Real-time stock validation, cart and checkout flow
• Clean separation of frontend and backend repos, each ready for containerised deployment

Please structure your deliverable as:
1. Source code (frontend, backend, AI microservice) in Git
2. README covering setup, environment variables and build commands
3. Postman/Swagger collection demonstrating every endpoint
4. Short Loom or similar walkthrough showing the recommendation engine in action

If you’ve built something similar—or have ideas to refine the recommendation logic—let me know how you’d approach it and a realistic timeline to see it live.
