- Back-end: modeled the profile and post data with Mongoose and MongoDB, validated inputs with Validator, ensured account information security with Bcrypt, and authenticated users with Passport and JSON Web Token (JWT).
- Front-end: built UI components with React and Bootstrap 4, managed application states with Redux and Redux Thunk, and pulled data from back-end REST APIs with the HTTP client Axios.
- Testing: extensive back-end API testing with Postman, front-end page testing with Redux Chrome Extension.
- Hosting: The app itself is hosted on Heroku, while the database is hosted on MongoDB Atlas.
