HireCraft

Accomplishments

• Built stateless JWT authentication (HS512) with Spring Security and a role-based access control (RBAC) system separating Client, Service Provider, and Admin roles.
• Implemented registration flows capturing phone numbers, plus forgot-password/reset-password logic with email delivery.
• Seeded roles, permissions, and a default admin user via Flyway migrations.
• Developed separate ClientProfile and ServiceProviderProfile domain models with full CRUD (occupation, hourly rate, average rating, etc.).
• Added profile picture upload/update with default profile pictures and CV/document upload, backed by Cloudinary.
• Built service-provider discovery/filtering so clients can find artisans by skills and ratings.
• Implemented a booking lifecycle state machine with status tracking (Pending, In Progress, Completed, etc.) and status-update endpoints.
• Added automated booking notification emails and client-facing booking views.
• Built a provider dashboard with analytics — accepted-jobs counts, review counts, client metrics, and monthly booking charts (ProviderDashboardMetricsResponse, BookingChart).
• Integrated a dual payment-gateway system: Paystack (active) and Stripe (legacy), including payment initiation and verification.
• Implemented escrow payments, split payments, provider subaccounts/onboarding, and webhook handling.
• Added configurable platform fee (10% default), currency, and minimum-amount settings.
• Built a review/rating system with creation, filtering, duplicate-submission checks, and per-provider average-rating and review-count calculation.
• Implemented real-time chat over WebSocket/STOMP (WebSocketConfig, MessageWebSocketController, SimpMessagingTemplate).
• Built a notification system (model, service, DTOs, REST retrieval) tied to booking and review events.
• Configured PostgreSQL with Flyway migrations applied automatically on startup (schema creation, seeding, location data).
• Set up CORS configuration to support the separate frontend client.
