Web Application / E-commerce 2024-2025

E-commerce Website (Greeny Farm)

A project to build a complete e-commerce system, focusing on selling organic produce. The system strictly follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern and uses Spring Boot for the Backend.

Spring Boot MVC E-commerce Spring Data JPA REST API Thymeleaf

Technical Description & Role

In this project, I held two concurrent roles: **Project Manager (PM)** and **Backend Developer**.

As PM, I was responsible for managing progress, testing, and merging team members' code on GitHub, ensuring code quality and deadlines. As a Backend Developer, I focused on building the core modules:

MVC Architecture: Built the system following the Model-View-Controller pattern. Used Spring Boot for logic, Spring Data JPA for database interaction, and Thymeleaf for the View layer.
E-commerce Modules: Developed key modules: Product Management, User Management (Admin/User roles), Shopping Cart, and Order Processing.
Database Design: Designed the MySQL database, focusing on the relationships between Products, Users, Orders, and Order Details.
REST API: Wrote a dedicated REST API for the Cart and Quick-Order functions, allowing for asynchronous processing (AJAX) on the client-side.
Security: Integrated Spring Security for user authentication and authorization.
