Production-ready collaborative project management platform
This project is a production-ready project management web application designed around modern team collaboration workflows. It includes a public landing page, authenticated dashboard, project hub (overview, team chat, member management, settings), interactive Kanban boards, and a dedicated All Tasks view. The backend is built with Node.js and Express, while the frontend is developed with Next.js and communicates with the backend through REST APIs and Socket.io. Authentication (JWT via HttpOnly cookies) and business logic are handled on the backend, while project-level actions are controlled on the frontend through a granular permission system with default and custom roles. My primary focus was product ideation, frontend architecture, UI implementation, REST and real-time API integration, permission-aware interfaces, and building a responsive collaborative experience with optimistic drag-and-drop and live synchronization.
Product Ideation & Front-End Developer (Next.js / React) Responsible for product ideation, frontend architecture, complete UI implementation, REST and Socket.io integration, permission-based UI rendering, reusable custom hooks, feature-based architecture, and client-side performance optimization. The backend (API, database, authentication, file storage, and real-time event broadcasting) was implemented separately. My focus was entirely on delivering a scalable, production-ready frontend that reliably coordinates with backend services.
Organized the application into isolated feature modules (Auth, Dashboard, Projects, Boards, Tasks, Search, Permissions, etc.) to improve scalability and maintainability.
Business logic was extracted into reusable hooks (useBoard, useProjectSocket, useProjectPermissions, useSearch, useAuth, etc.), keeping UI components clean and reusable.
Selected for advanced multi-container drag-and-drop with optimistic updates, rollback handling, and keyboard/touch support.
Implemented a singleton socket client with room management, automatic reconnect, and event synchronization.
Used for schema-based validation with minimal re-renders.
Tailwind CSS for layouts and branding, Ant Design for complex UI controls.
Axios interceptors with automatic token refresh for stable authenticated API communication.
This project demonstrates my ability to design and build production-ready collaborative systems beyond traditional CRUD applications. Implementing real-time Kanban workflows, optimistic state management, granular RBAC, team collaboration, and scalable frontend architecture reflects strong expertise in building reliable client-side applications that coordinate seamlessly with backend services.
