Next.js Developer Needed to Connect Dashboard UI to Node.js API

Experienced full‑stack Next.js developer needed to integrate an existing dashboard with a Node.js API. Tasks: connect backend to MongoDB and verify authentication endpoints; replace mocked email login with real API login using JWT; secure authenticated routes; substitute mocked dashboard state with live API data; implement clear loading, error and empty states; provide setup notes and a GitHub feature branch with a concise change summary. TypeScript and Next.js/React integration experience required. Fixed‑scope engagement, 4–6 week estimate.
