Django
I have extensive experience developing web apps using the Django Framework. I use Django to create both web applications and REST APIs.
Django is a tool that helps developers build web applications faster and more efficiently. It's written in Python and has features like an Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) for working with databases, a templating system for creating HTML templates, and a built-in admin interface for managing data.
Using Django can save developers time and effort in building web applications. Its security features protect against common attacks like CSRF and XSS. Overall, Django is a popular choice for web developers looking for a powerful and easy-to-use framework.
Here are some Django projects I have made
Homely Haven
This is an example of a website for a real estate agency. The site has an authentication and registration which allows signed in users to book a viewing of the property.

I am skilled in developing front-end web applications using the React framework.
React is a popular JavaScript framework that developers use to build interfaces for web applications. React is widely used because it is efficient and flexible making it a popular choice for both small and large web development projects.

Cocktail Party
This is an example of a calculator app where a user can select cocktails that they want to make at a party and it will work out the amount of ingredients needed. The user can then generate and download a PDF which shows the recipes.
This uses FastAPI as it's backend with a simple SQLLite database. The PDFs are stored in S3 storage.
