About Project
About Project
Task Manager API is a backend case study for organizing productivity workflows around explicit contracts, validation, and clear state transitions. The dummy detail content is ready to be replaced with repository, endpoint, and deployment information.
Problem
Task workflows need reliable state transitions, clear contracts, and data models that stay easy to evolve.
Role
Modeled the API surface, persistence flow, and service boundaries.
Outcome
A backend reference project that demonstrates practical .NET architecture and maintainable API design.
