Full-Stack Developer Apprentice

🎯 Context & Objectives

• Deliver a complete, documented, and deployed application demonstrating end-to-end mastery of the software lifecycle.
• Cover all phases: design (UML, MERISE, SQL), fullstack development (backend API, frontend SPA), DevOps (CI/CD, VPS deployment), and technical documentation (90-page LaTeX report).
• Validate CDA qualification competencies through a capstone project carried out independently.

🛠️ Achievements

🧩 Design

• UML: class, object, use-case, and sequence diagrams.
• MERISE: conceptual/logical/physical data models; SQL database modeling.

💻 Development

• Backend: Node.js TypeScript, Express, Prisma (ORM), REST API with Swagger auto-documentation.
• Frontend: React v17, SPA with routing and state management.

🏗️ DevOps & Quality

• GitLab CI pipeline for automated builds and deployments.
• Deployed on Ubuntu VPS (OVH): staging and production environments.
• API testing with Postman (documented request collections).

🧭 Organization / Methodology

• Product-first approach: functional scoping, user stories, modeling before implementation.
• Integrated technical documentation: detailed LaTeX report + Postman collections + Swagger.
• Separation of concerns: routes / controllers / use cases / repos on the backend; components / slices on the frontend.

📈 Results

• Frontend and backend deployed and live (myhappywallet.*).
• API exposed and documented via Swagger.
• 90-page LaTeX technical report covering the full project lifecycle.
• Complete Postman collections for endpoint validation.

🔧 Tech Stack

• Frontend: React 17, JavaScript ES6.
• Backend: Node.js (TypeScript), Express, Prisma, MySQL.
• DevOps: GitLab CI, Ubuntu VPS (OVH).
• Tooling: VS Code, GitLab, Figma, Excalidraw, PlantUML, Postman, Git.
• Documentation: LaTeX (technical report), Swagger (API).
• OS: macOS.
