I developed a modern, full-stack invoice management application using PHP 8 and MySQL, designed to help freelancers and small businesses automate billing, track payments, and manage client data efficiently.
💻 Dynamic Invoice Automation
- Built a responsive invoice creation engine supporting dynamic itemization, tax rates, and discount calculations.
- Integrated automated PDF generation allowing users to instantly download and print professional invoices directly from the dashboard.
- Streamlined the billing lifecycle with status tracking (Draft, Sent, Paid, Overdue), enabling users to manage cash flow effectively.
🔐 Secure Authentication & User Security
- Implemented a robust authentication system featuring secure login, registration with real-time validation, and email-based password reset functionality.
- Enhanced system security by integrating password_hash() for credential storage and enforcing CSRF protection on all forms to prevent cross-site attacks.
- Reduced vulnerability risks by utilizing PDO prepared statements to sanitize inputs and prevent SQL injection.
📊 Admin Analytics & Data Management
- Developed a comprehensive Admin Panel that provides high-level insights into user growth, total revenue, and system usage trends.
- Created visual reporting tools using Chart.js to track monthly registrations and geographic user distribution.
- Enabled data portability with CSV export functionality, allowing administrators to extract user data for external reporting and analysis.
⚙️ Scalable Database Architecture
- Designed a normalized MySQL schema with interconnected tables for Users, Invoices, and Items to ensure data integrity and fast query performance.
- Optimized session management to handle multi-user environments reliably, ensuring data isolation between User and Admin sessions.
