🛠️ Tech Stack & Architecture

• Frontend: React.js (SPA with clean routing)
• Backend: The backend is powered by Django, handling data models, API responses, and secure routing for seamless frontend connectivity.
• Authentication: JWT-based login/signup with secure password change flow
• Deployment: Render (React static site + Django API with environment-based configuration)
• Security:
  • Secrets managed via environment variables
  • GitGuardian alerts resolved and hardcoded keys removed
  • CORS configured for safe frontend-backend communication

---

🚀 Deployment Workflow

• Locally hosted and tested before public deployment
• React frontend deployed as static site on Render
• Django backend deployed with custom startCommand and verified repo structure
• Environment variables used to wire frontend to backend securely
• Manual and auto-deploy workflows confirmed via Render logs

---

🧠 Debugging & Optimization

• Systematic error resolution across React and Django
• Terminal-based troubleshooting using PowerShell and Git Bash
• Build script validation and executable permissions confirmed across Windows.
• API endpoint testing and frontend integration verified before public release
