Under the hood

Technical Highlights

Modular Architecture

The application was built prioritizing strict maintainability, utilizing feature-based directory structures (auth, curator, dashboard, discovery, statistics). This ensured the separation of concerns and encapsulated business logic cleanly away from the UI components.

Modern Tooling & Type Safety

Enforced strict type safety across the entire application utilizing TypeScript, mapping out complex API response interfaces representing Spotify’s vast data model. The build process leveraged modern Next.js optimizations alongside exhaustive local linting and testing pipelines.
