Front End Architecture

The workflow of an application catering to agents and athletes, starting from the welcome screens and leading to registration options. Users can either log in or sign up, with separate paths for athlete and agent registration. Once registered, they access a shared dashboard enabling communication features like chat and video calls, alongside profile viewing capabilities, fostering seamless interaction between agents and athletes.

Backend Architecture

A backend architecture built with Node.js and Express.js, following a modular and layered approach. It begins with client requests via HTTP/HTTPS, routed through Express.js where middleware like JWT and Helmet handle authentication and security. The requests are then processed by controllers in Node.js, which delegate tasks to the service layer for custom business logic. Services leverage utilities such as Bcrypt.js for hashing and Nodemailer for sending emails. Data operations are managed through models using Sequelize or Knex, which interact with a PostgreSQL database, ensuring efficient and secure data handling.
