- Architected the core admin dashboard using a modular component-based approach, developing reusable systems for authentication, complex forms, and multi-media galleries.
- Engineered a resilient, progressive media upload system that supports pause and resume functionality, allowing admins to reliably upload large video and comic files even on unstable connections.
- Optimized data management by implementing TanStack Query for efficient fetching, caching, and state synchronization using a structured query key strategy.
- Streamlined content delivery through seamless YouTube API integration for video management and playback.
The primary challenge was building a resilient content management system capable of handling large media assets—such as high-quality videos and comics—without data loss. To solve this, I:
- Engineered a progressive upload system: Implemented chunked, resumable uploads that allow admins to pause and resume progress, preventing data loss during network interruptions or large file transfers.
- Optimized complex state management: Integrated react-hook-form with TanStack Query to ensure data integrity across multi-step forms and pre-populated edit states.
- Enhanced UX Feedback: Developed real-time upload progress indicators and validation logic to provide immediate feedback, ensuring a smooth and reliable administrative workflow.
