The client needed a platform where users could generate AI-powered images and videos directly in the browser. The challenge was to deliver a fast, scalable Next.js application that could handle heavy traffic while integrating with powerful AI backends for image/video generation.
My Role & Contributions
Built the frontend in Next.js with SSR/ISR for high performance and SEO.
Implemented dynamic user dashboards for managing generated content, saving projects, and browsing community creations.
Integrated AI model endpoints to support image and video generation, giving users real-time previews and history.
Designed a responsive, modern UI with accessible flows to make advanced AI tools easy for non-technical users.
Optimized API calls and caching to reduce generation times and improve reliability under load.
Impact & Results
Delivered an AI-first web platform where thousands of users can generate and share content.
Reduced latency in generation requests, making image outputs ~30% faster compared to baseline.
Boosted community engagement with profile pages, saved projects, and share options.
Helped position the client as a serious player in the fast-growing AI creative tools market.
Tech Stack Next.js (frontend + SSR/ISR), Node.js APIs, AI model integration (image & video), Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL/Redis (for caching & jobs)
