From this project I learned how to manage a more complex database structure.
I gained a better understanding of designing relationships between different entities, organizing data properly, and creating a database structure that makes application easier to maintain and scale.

In essence, this was an exciting project filled with curiosity, frustration, problem solving and a lots of lessons learned.

For the User endpoints, I implemented profile retrieval, updates, and account deletion.

Users can only access and update their own profile. Email updates are validated to ensure uniqueness. For account deletion, I removed all associated user data, deleted the account

Why do some apps keep you logged in for months while others log you out in minutes? It all comes down to balancing security and user experience.

For authentication, I validated every request, implemented user registration with unique emails, hashed passwords, and currency selection. I generated access & refresh tokens, verified passwords on login, handled logout by clearing cookies and removing refresh tokens

In June, I built an Expense Tracker API and learned a lot.

It was my first time implementing pagination, Zod validation, entity relationships, and using packages like `cors` and `morgan`.

I'll be sharing some of the endpoints I built here on X.
