Natura & CO 2023

I worked as a Front-end Engineer on strategic projects for the Natura Group, contributing to the standardization, modernization, and scalability of the e-commerce experience across multiple brands and countries through a Whitelabel and multi-platform architecture.

The main goal of these initiatives was to centralize UI management, improve performance, SEO, and user experience, and enable fast international expansion, even when operating with different back-end systems.

🧩 Global Whitelabel Architecture

The Natura Whitelabel was built to manage the interfaces of multiple group websites using a single codebase, ensuring visual consistency, scalability, and easier maintenance.

🌐 Websites powered by the Whitelabel

In parallel, I also worked on another Natura Group front-end, built with a different stack, responsible for:

πŸš€ International Migration & Performance Impact

I was responsible for the implementation and migration of the following websites into the Whitelabel architecture:

This effort required a deep understanding of how each API delivered its data and translating it into the format expected by UI components through a custom SDK.

πŸ“ˆ Results achieved after migration:

  • +218% increase in page views
  • βˆ’40% reduction in bounce rate
  • Direct and positive impact on e-commerce sales

πŸ”Œ Multi Back-end SDK (Whitelabel Core)

To enable multiple back-ends to coexist seamlessly under a single Front-end, a Software Development Kit (SDK) was developed to:

  • Consume data from different REST APIs
  • Normalize responses from multiple back-ends:
  • ATG
  • Salesforce
  • Node.js BFF (Backend for Frontend)
  • Convert data into the model expected by UI components, leveraging TypeScript’s strong typing

This approach allowed a single Front-end to operate transparently with completely different back-end systems, making country rollouts faster and safer.

⚑ Performance, SEO & Scalability

Both the Whitelabel and the new-generation Natura Front-ends are highly performance-driven, with strong emphasis on:

  • Fast page loads
  • Smooth navigation
  • SEO optimization
  • Consistent experience across regions

A large portion of the content is rendered statically and on the server, improving both perceived performance and search engine indexing.

🧠 Next-Generation Natura Front-end

Alongside the Whitelabel, Natura embarked on a journey to modernize its Front-end, moving away from the React + MUI stack toward a more scalable and modern foundation.

πŸ› οΈ Adopted stack

  • Next.js 14
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Gaya Design System
  • TanStack Query
  • Zustand

This new foundation was designed to support:

  • Internationalization (i18n)
  • Theming
  • Country-specific configurations
  • Global scalability

One of the main challenges was ensuring that all Natura websites, as well as the Whitelabel platform, converged to this new codebase while respecting regional requirements.

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Technologies Used

  • React
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • JavaScript
  • Redux / Redux Toolkit
  • Zustand
  • TanStack Query
  • Tailwind CSS

🌟 Impact & Professional Growth

Working on these projects significantly strengthened my experience in:

  • Global and scalable architectures
  • Performance optimization for high-traffic applications
  • Front-end integration with multiple back-end systems
  • Business-oriented development driven by real metrics
  • Collaboration in complex, distributed environments

I’m genuinely proud to be part of this initiative and happy to share more technical or architectural details if needed.
