Sparkle Car Wash
I developed a **full-stack car wash booking web application** with booking system and JWT-based RBAC. I optimized backend APIs with Redis caching, reducing latency by **97% (194ms → 5ms)**. I designed an admin dashboard that is fast and easy to use, achieving 10ms TBT and 0 CLS. The project delivers a fast, responsive, and user-friendly experience.
