Service Booking Platform
A team cohort project built with Django and PostgreSQL. Clients can schedule home, office, and repair services. Contractors register, set their availability, and receive job requests. An automated calendar system syncs client and contractor schedules in real time, preventing overlaps. Built as part of a structured group learning cohort — real project, real stack, collaborative delivery.
