My AI Usage

I used AI tools to assist in development while following the project guidelines responsibly.

Tools Used:

ChatGPT: Assisted with generating boilerplate code for Django views, React components, and API integration.

How AI Was Used:

Generated initial structure for Django API views (CRUD and authentication endpoints)

Assisted with React component creation (Dashboard, Login, Admin actions)

Provided suggestions for TailwindCSS layout and form styling

Debugged errors and suggested solutions

Reflection:

AI accelerated development by providing structured code and suggestions, but all logic, modifications, and integrations were verified and manually coded. AI was used as an augmentation tool, not a replacement for my own work.

Tests

Backend tests implemented using Django’s built-in TestCase and DRF API testing utilities.

TDD approach followed: wrote tests first, then implemented the feature, and refactored.

python manage.py test
