React

Full-Stack Blog Platform: React & Node.js Integration In this project-driven course, I moved beyond basic tutorials to build a comprehensive, full-stack blog application. The focus was on mastering React to create a fast, modern frontend while integrating it with a Node.js backend to handle real-world data and security.

Key Features & Technical Skills:

• Interactive Frontend: Built with React, using advanced patterns like the Context API and Custom Hooks to manage site data efficiently without slowing down the user experience.

• Full Authentication System: Implemented a secure "members-only" system, including user registration, email verification, and a "forgot password" flow. I also built Protected Routes to ensure only authorized users can create or edit posts.

• API & Data Management: Gained proficiency in connecting the interface to a RESTful API. I handled complex tasks like list searching, pagination (splitting posts into pages), and managing "State" to keep the site feeling snappy.

• Reusable Architecture: Focused on building "reusable components," which means the code is organized, easy to read, and simple to scale as new features are added.

Key Tech

• Frontend: React (Hooks, Context API, Router)

• Backend: Node.js, RESTful APIs

• Security: JWT Authentication, Protected Routes, Email Verification

• Tools: Postman (API Testing), CSS-in-JS

How this equips me as a Developer: This project bridges the gap between a simple website and a professional web application. By building both the frontend (React) and understanding how it communicates with the backend (Node.js/API), I have gained the skills to develop secure, data-driven platforms from the ground up. I am comfortable managing the entire user journey—from landing pages to secure account dashboards.
