Hostel Meals
Built by Ratul Saha Roy — full stack app for hostel meal management: role-based access, orders, and secure flows. Sharpens MERN patterns—REST APIs, auth-minded design, and dashboards that stay usable on mobile.

The Journey
Overview
A product-shaped exercise in meal ordering and operations for a hostel context: roles, orders, and flows that need to stay understandable on small screens.
The focus is on predictable REST contracts, JWT-oriented access patterns, and dashboards that do not overwhelm—so the same codebase can grow toward production hardening.

The Challenge
Hostel meal operations need simple roles, predictable ordering, and flows that still work when everyone is on a phone—without exposing sensitive actions.

Key Highlights

The Approach
I modeled REST resources around orders and roles, used JWT-shaped access patterns, and kept dashboard density low so the same screens work for students and staff.

The Outcome
A MERN-style reference build that demonstrates how I structure auth-aware UI, payments, and mobile-first dashboards for real constraints.
