Problem & context

Built to show a complete, production-ready web app from end to end: a React front end on a tested ASP.NET Core API, with real sign-in, roles, a database and a one-command way to run it.

My contribution

Built the whole app solo: React 19 + Vite front end and ASP.NET Core 8 Web API.
JWT login with Admin and User roles.
Events with filtering, image upload and Yes / Maybe / No RSVPs.
Per-city weather forecasts from the OpenWeatherMap API.
Admin panel: promote or disable users, manage events, see RSVP lists and statistics.

Key technical work

Roles and dashboards

Everyone can browse and create events; signed-in users get a personal dashboard; admins manage users and events.

Weather per event

Each event shows the forecast for its city, fetched from the OpenWeatherMap API.

One-command start

docker compose up starts SQL Server, the API and the nginx-served front end; migrations and seed data run on first start, and uploads and data persist in volumes.

Observable

A /health endpoint with Docker health checks, structured logs in Seq and Swagger API docs.

Architecture

React 19 + Vite front end served by nginx.
ASP.NET Core 8 Web API with Entity Framework Core.
SQL Server 2022 with migrations and seed data on first start.
Docker Compose: database, API, front end and Seq log server, with health checks between them.
Design decisions recorded as ADRs in the repository.

Testing & validation

xUnit unit tests for the auth and event services, with Moq.
An integration test of the events API using WebApplicationFactory and an in-memory database.
15 acceptance criteria verified on a clean Docker start (14 July 2026), documented in EVIDENCE.md.
A UAT plan in the repository.
