Laundrify
A modern web application for laundry services with inventory management, e-commerce, and customer service features.
Project Overview
Laundrify is a comprehensive web application I developed for a laundry service business. As the founder and lead developer, I was responsible for the entire project from conception to deployment.
The goal was to create a modern, user-friendly platform that would streamline the laundry service process, improve inventory management, and provide an excellent customer experience. The application needed to handle order booking, tracking, and management, while also offering e-commerce functionality for laundry products.
I built the platform using Next.js for the frontend and backend, with MongoDB as the database and Prisma as the ORM. The application features server-side rendering for improved SEO and initial load performance, along with a responsive design that works seamlessly across all devices.

Technical Approach
The development process involved several technical challenges and innovative solutions.
Challenges & Solutions
API Performance Optimization
Faced with performance bottlenecks in the existing API, I analyzed database query performance using MongoDB's profiling tools and identified inefficient queries. By implementing asynchronous programming and caching strategies, I reduced API response times by 35%.
Database Optimization
Optimized MongoDB queries using indexing and aggregation, resulting in a 20% improvement in database query performance, ensuring smooth user experience even with large product catalogs.
Responsive UI Development
Developed a responsive and user-friendly front-end with React, utilizing performance optimization techniques such as memoization and code splitting to ensure fast loading times across all devices.
Technical Architecture
Frontend
Built with Next.js for server-side rendering and optimal performance. Used ShadcnUI components and Tailwind CSS for styling, with TypeScript for type safety. Implemented responsive design principles to ensure compatibility across all devices.
Backend
Leveraged Next.js API routes to create a RESTful API. Used Prisma as an ORM to interact with the MongoDB database, providing type-safe database queries and migrations. Implemented middleware for authentication and request validation.
Database
MongoDB was chosen for its flexibility and scalability. Designed a schema that efficiently supports inventory management, user accounts, order tracking, and e-commerce functionality. Implemented indexing strategies for optimal query performance.
