Extended a full-stack inventory management system with authentication, role-based access control, real-time interactivity, and production deployment to create a more secure and scalable application.

This project builds on a foundational inventory management system by introducing advanced features focused on security, reliability, and user experience. User authentication and role-based authorization were implemented using ASP.NET Core Identity, supporting registration, login, password reset, and role-specific access. Admin users can manage products and categories, while regular users can browse inventory and place orders. The user model was extended to support additional profile data. The application includes a structured error-handling system, with global exception handling, custom error pages (404 and 500), and logging using Serilog to capture application-level issues. This improves reliability while maintaining a user-friendly experience. To enhance interactivity, AJAX was used to implement dynamic product search and asynchronous form submissions, allowing parts of the interface to update without full page reloads. Visual feedback such as loading indicators was included to improve usability. The application was deployed to Microsoft Azure, demonstrating production readiness, including environment configuration and secure handling of application settings. This project demonstrates the ability to evolve a basic application into a more complete, secure, and scalable system aligned with modern web development practices.
