Architecture & Technology
The comprehensive stack powering Chatex
Chatex is a full-stack social media application engineered entirely from scratch over two dedicated months. My main objective was to create a modern, scalable platform that accurately mimics real-world enterprise architectures, proving my readiness for professional software engineering securely and confidently.

- ▹Hosting: Seamlessly deployed and delivered on Vercel's global edge network.
Backend Architecture
