A dynamic single-page application from the ground up,
using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, and
Node.js). Implementing an authentication system through
API's routes/controllers I built from scratch.
For the deployment phase of the project, I utilized
Terraform Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Allowing me to
efficiently provision and manage the resources needed to
host the application. As well as ensuring a scalable and
maintainable infrastructure that could adapt to changing
requirements.
