I also used PostgreSQL and hosted in on an Nginx server and introduced the agile methodology for product management and used UML for designing the process and database structure.

    I started this project as a web developer, eventually taking a leadership role in my last year on the team as a lead developer.

    I began developing the front-end using Create React app which is provided by Facebook and then later adopted Redux, Redux-saga, React Router, Axios, and more. This website was built using Python/Django and React. I also used the Django REST framework to create RESTful APIS and Django REST Framework JWT to implement token-based authentication.
