Overview

Task management web application developed as a CS50W capstone project (2023). Features recurring daily, weekly, and monthly task workflows with timezone-aware automatic resets, a JWT-secured REST API, interactive data tables, and Excel export.

Context

CS50's Web Programming with Python and JavaScript — Capstone Project. Role: Full-Stack Developer. Year: Jul–Aug 2023.

Responsibilities

Designed and implemented the Django REST Framework API with JWT authentication (djangorestframework-simplejwt).
Built timezone-aware scheduled task reset logic for daily, weekly, and monthly task cycles.
Integrated DataTables for server-side pagination, sorting, and filtering of task data.
Implemented Excel export using openpyxl for task history reporting.
Set up Swagger/OpenAPI documentation via drf-spectacular.
Deployed to PythonAnywhere with a PostgreSQL backend.

Architecture

Django serves the frontend templates while DRF provides the API layer. Authentication is JWT-based with refresh token support. Scheduled task resets are triggered by Django management commands or cron, and DataTables connects to the DRF API for server-side data handling.
