Master data dashboard showcase: an overview screen with technology, category, brand and model counts, a models-by-technology breakdown and a catalogue-status chart.

The problem

When product reference data is copied across systems, it drifts. A central master, exposed through well-defined APIs and managed from a dashboard, gives every consumer the same answer.

My role & responsibilities

  • Product-master APIs built with NestJS.
  • PostgreSQL data model accessed with Prisma where applicable.
  • Next.js dashboards for managing master data.

Architecture

  1. 01

    Master API

    NestJS modules expose the product master with typed DTOs and validation.

  2. 02

    Data layer

    PostgreSQL via Prisma, with migrations tracked in version control.

  3. 03

    Dashboard

    Next.js interface for viewing and maintaining master records.

Engineering decisions

  • One owner per piece of data; consumers read through the API instead of keeping their own copies.
  • Typed schemas end to end, from database models to API contracts to the UI.

Challenges

  • Agreeing a single shape for data that different teams describe differently.
  • Changing the model safely while consumers depend on it.

What shipped

  • Master data APIs and dashboards. Scope detail to be confirmed before further description.

Scope summarised conservatively; add verified detail in src/data/projects.ts.
