About me

Nafiz Iqbal

Creating digital experiences that inspires

I build modern, responsive web applications with cutting-edge technologies that deliver exceptional user experiences

My Story

My journey in tech started when I built my first website at 2021. It was not so easy for a Non CS student like me. But I was determined to learn and grow, which led me to where I am today.

Currently, I'm focused on creating meaningful digital experiences that inspire and solve real-world problems.

Design is not just what it looks like. Design is how it works.

Architecture & Logic

How Emerald Restaurants moves data, events, and users in real time

Rendering Architecture Diagram...
System Flow:Client Action API Validation Database Write Socket Event Live Updates

System Logic

1. Order Creation

Consumer App sends encrypted payload to Node.js API endpoint.

2. Validation & Persistence

API validates schema using Zod & writes order to MongoDB cluster.

3. Socket Emission

Server emits specific Socket.IO events (e.g., 'order:new') to active rooms.

4. Real-time Sync

Branch & Management apps receive payload instantly via WebSockets.

5. Status Updates

Order status changes allow bidirectional updates back to the Consumer.

Core Principles

  • Separation of concerns between Consumer, Branch, and Management
  • Scalable Node.js + Express backend serving multiple frontend clients
  • Event-driven architecture using Socket.IO for sub-100ms updates
  • Production-ready error handling and optimistic UI updates
  • Type-safe communication between specialized apps

Clean Code & Maintainability

Great software isn't just about what user sees—it's about how developers feel working with it.

5export const useSocketSubscription = (
6  event: string,
7  callback: (data: any) => void
8) => {
9  useEffect(() => {
10    if (!socket.connected) socket.connect();
11 
12    // Subscribe to event
13    socket.on(event, callback);
14 
15    return () => {
16      // Cleanup on unmount
17      socket.off(event, callback);
18    };
19  }, [event, callback]);
20};

Type Safety

Fully typed events and payloads prevents runtime errors.

Automatic Cleanup

Prevents memory leaks by automatically unsubscribing on unmount.

Separation of Concerns

UI components stay focused on rendering, not connection logic.
