Key Challenges:

Large, form-heavy enterprise screens

Rapid feature additions across sprints

Tight coupling risk between frontend and backend

Need for predictable data fetching and UI state management

Key Engineering Decisions

1.GraphQL-first Data Access

Reduced over-fetching compared to REST

Allowed frontend to evolve independently of backend changes

Enabled precise control over query payloads

2.Reusable Component Architecture

Abstracted form elements, tables, modals, and layouts to ensure consistent UX and reduce duplicated logic.

Consistent UX

Across all modules

Less Duplication

Reduced logic and UI bugs

Faster Development

Reusable templates

3.Performance Optimization

Lazy-loaded heavy modules

Used dynamic imports for rarely used screens

Applied memoization where data re-renders were costly

4.Code Quality Enforcement

Introduced Husky pre-commit hooks, enforced linting and formatting, improved team consistency and reduced regressions.

Challenges & Solutions

Challenge: Complex Enterprise Forms

Solution: Broke forms into smaller, composable components. Centralized validation logic. Ensured predictable state updates.
