✅ Production-standard structure for scalability and easy maintenance.
During development, I utilized AI tools to improve workflow, design quality, and logic clarity, including:
- Deepseek for UI/UX structure planning and design feedback.
- ChatGPT for backend architecture, API structuring, logic checks, and error debugging.
This allowed maintaining high-quality, consistent production standards while saving time during iterative development.
