About This Project

StirCraft is a full-stack mixology discovery application designed to help users discover, organize, and share cocktail recipes. As team lead, I architected and delivered a production-ready Django platform featuring six core relational models, recipe workflows with measurements and ABV logic, attribution-aware forking, and social discovery features such as profiles, custom lists, favorites, and public feeds. The app includes advanced search and filtering, dynamic AJAX interactions, WCAG AA accessibility practices, and strong test coverage on critical paths. Deployment included Heroku + PostgreSQL configuration, static asset handling, environment management, and seeded demo datasets for realistic product walkthroughs.
