A production-style RESTful API built with Spring Boot following clean architecture principles and project-based learning. This project demonstrates how a simple CRUD application can evolve into a scalable backend system by introducing real-world software engineering concepts step by step.
The goal of this project is not only to build a Student Management System but also to showcase backend engineering skills, clean code practices, and progressive software architecture.

This project is part of my backend engineering journey. Instead of building multiple disconnected tutorials, I chose to build one application that grows from a simple CRUD API into a production-style backend system.
Every feature introduces a new Spring Boot concept while reinforcing software engineering principles such as clean architecture, separation of concerns, reusable code, and maintainability.
