Flask Task Manager — backend with JWT and tasks

My responsibilities

• Designed the application structure (models, resources, extensions).
• Implemented JWT authentication and protected private endpoints.
• Configured PostgreSQL, DB migrations and environment-based settings.
• Documented all routes via Swagger UI for easy testing and onboarding.
• Prepared Docker configuration so the project can be run locally in one command.

Key endpoints

• POST /auth/register — user registration.
• POST /auth/login — login, returns JWT token.
• GET /tasks/ — list of tasks for the current user.
• POST /tasks/ — create a new task.
• PATCH /tasks/{id} — update an existing task.
• DELETE /tasks/{id} — delete a task.

What this project says about me

• I understand the basics of building a REST API and JWT-based auth.
• I can work with DB migrations and keep schema changes under control.
• I prepare projects so that other developers can easily run and test them.
