  • Built a secure RESTful API using Node.js and Express.js to manage business logic.

  • Integrated MongoDB for flexible and scalable data storage of products, users, and orders.

  • Implemented JWT-based authentication for secure user management.

  • Designed an administrative dashboard for real-time order processing and product management.
