● Learned the Laravel framework and PHP backend development in a professional setting, then applied it by independently building two full-stack applications (StockWise and CareQueue) as internship projects. ● Contributed to a professional software development environment, applying programming and engineering fundamentals to practical, self-directed project work. ● StockWise (Inventory Management System): Built a full-stack inventory management system covering products, categories, sales, restocking, and stock-movement tracking, with a dashboard summarizing sales, low-stock items, and category-level data. ● Implemented complete authentication (registration, login, logout, password recovery/reset) and role-based access control. ● Designed a multi-item sales flow with automatic stock-level updates and transaction summaries, plus a responsive UI for desktop and mobile. ● CareQueue (Hospital Queue Management System): Designed and built an MVP for managing patient queues and appointments across patient, receptionist, and doctor roles, with role-based workflows to reduce wait times. ● Deployed the application to production on Render using a Docker-based, multi-stage build, configuring Nginx and PHP-FPM and resolving a Vite asset-manifest build issue in the process. ● Migrated the database from local MySQL to Render's managed PostgreSQL, fixed HTTPS mixed-content issues by correctly configuring trusted proxies, and debugged a password double-hashing bug caused by conflicting automatic and manual hashing.
