🚀 Just shipped my latest full-stack project: an Online Examination Platform.

Rather than just building another CRUD app, I wanted to tackle real-time data flow, stateless security, and role-based access control. Here is a deep dive into the architecture and technical decisions behind the system:

⚙️ Architecture & Backend (Java / Spring Boot 3 / PostgreSQL) • Security First: Implemented stateless authentication using Spring Security and JWT. Custom filters intercept requests to validate tokens, ensuring secure access to role-specific endpoints (Admin, Teacher, Student). • Real-Time Bidi-Communication: Integrated STOMP WebSockets over SockJS. When a student submits an exam, a message broker pushes the event directly to the teacher's dashboard for live monitoring—no constant HTTP polling required. • Data Layer: Utilized Spring Data JPA (Hibernate) for complex relational mapping between Users, Classrooms, Exams, and Submissions. Engineered for smooth transitions between H2 (local development) and PostgreSQL (production).

💻 Frontend (React 18 / Vite) • State & API Management: Built a robust API layer using Axios Interceptors to automatically attach JWT tokens to outgoing requests and gracefully handle 401 unauthorized expirations. • Security Measures: Engineered a "Strict Mode" during exams that hooks into browser visibility APIs and clipboard events to prevent tab-switching and copy-pasting. • Dynamic UI: Developed distinct, role-based dashboards utilizing React Router for protected route guarding.

🚢 DevOps & Deployment • Completely containerized using Docker and deployed on Render utilizing a Blueprint render.yaml for infrastructure-as-code, connecting the backend Web Service with a managed PostgreSQL instance and serving the frontend as a Static Site.

This project was a fantastic challenge in managing full-stack state, handling real-time socket connections, and enforcing strict security parameters.

I’m currently looking for new opportunities in Software Engineering! If you have any feedback on the tech stack or architecture, I’d love to discuss it below. 👇
