- Improved maintainability: Reduced repetitive try-catch blocks by implementing a global error-handling wrapper (catchAsync), enhancing code consistency and minimizing boilerplate across all controller functions.
- Enhanced efficiency (DRY principle): Designed and implemented a Factory Handler (getAll, getOne, updateOne) to standardize repetitive API logic, reducing controller code by approximately 25% and accelerating feature development.
- Increased extensibility: Built a middleware-based registration system to dynamically validate required request fields by route configuration, making the backend more scalable and easier to maintain during API expansion.
- Improved UX & state management: Integrated Zustand with React Query to separate client-side and server-side states, leveraging onMutate for optimistic updates to minimize data reflection delay and provide a smoother user experience.
- Boosted performance: Resolved performance bottlenecks in React Native parcel list rendering by strategically applying useMemo and useCallback, significantly reducing unnecessary re-renders and improving UI responsiveness.
