Hey devs! I recently took on a side project as the sole backend and database engineer for an MVP healthcare platform, and I wanted to share what I’ve built so far:
🛠️ What I’ve Done (So Far):
Designed and deployed a PostgreSQL relational database for user management.
Created a users table with key fields like email, phone_number, password (hashed with pbkdf2_sha256), user_role, and is_active.
Implemented role detection logic that automatically classifies new sign-ups as 'Patient' or 'Health Professional', stored and queried efficiently.
Built secure CRUD endpoints in Django (DRF) that interact directly with the database.
Enforced data integrity through constraints, and boolean flags like is_active for user status tracking.
Integrated password hashing with security in mind using industry best practices.
🔍 Here’s a peek at a live SELECT * FROM users result (no sensitive data exposed):
🧠 Skills Showcased:
PostgreSQL Schema Design
Backend API Engineering (Django + DRF)
Data validation + role-based access control
Clean code, security-focused database structure
Real-time experience building production-quality MVP logic
