Key Full-Stack Skills Highlighted:

• Robust Backend Development (Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL): I designed and implemented a secure and scalable backend using Java 21 with Spring Boot 3.4.4, incorporating Spring Data JPA for data persistence and Spring Security JWT for robust user authentication and authorization. The use of PostgreSQL (with H2 for testing) demonstrates expertise in relational databases.
• Comprehensive API Development: The backend exposes a full suite of RESTful API endpoints (supporting GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) for seamless communication with the frontend, enabling all core functionalities like user, box, and item management. Postman/Swagger integration ensures clear API documentation.
• Interactive Frontend Development (React.js): I built the frontend using React 15.7 and JavaScript 6, creating an elegant and intuitive user interface for managing box contents, including adding items with quantity and image uploads. The focus on an intuitive interface for QR code generation and inventory control highlights strong UI/UX principles.

• Scalability & Security: The backend is designed for scalability, suitable for both individual home organization and small business inventory, while implementing security best practices to protect user data.
• Full Development Lifecycle Management: I utilized Trello for project management, Git/GitHub for version control, and Maven for build automation, demonstrating proficiency in managing projects from concept to deployment. The clear setup instructions for both backend (Docker, Maven) and frontend (npm) underscore strong operational knowledge.

This project is a testament to my ability to develop a complete, secure, and user-centric full-stack application, ready to transform physical organization into a streamlined digital experience.
