- UI/UX best practices (responsive layouts, loading states)
Key technical achievements:
✅ Integrated Swiggy API with custom caching layer for 1.5s faster load times
✅ Built 10+ interactive pages including dynamic restaurant menus and cart flows
✅ Implemented authentication flows with Firebase (login/signup)
✅ Achieved 90+ Lighthouse score via code-splitting and optimized assets
