Smart Workshop Scheduling System

Managing scattered workshop reservations required a platform that functions like a sophisticated Calendly clone but with customized, granular access controls. The challenge was structuring an availability algorithm that cross-referenced real-time user bookings across dynamic timezones while simultaneously syncing with external event calendars. The system required robust conflict resolution and sub-second schedule painting in the UI.

I constructed an advanced scheduling logic inside Next.js API Routes, heavily backed by a normalized Postgres schema hosted on Supabase. I leveraged the server-edge runtime to rapidly calculate available slots by diffing master schedules against pre-booked events using complex SQL joins and array operations. The frontend employed strict React state machines and React Hook Form (validated by Zod) to seamlessly handle multi-step booking flows and instantly reflect time-slot locks before the final commit.
