About the Project

What it is

Expense Tracker is a full-stack app for logging expenses, organising them into categories, and visualising spending patterns through interactive charts.

Problem it solves

Most people lose track of where their money goes because tracking it is tedious. This project makes recording and reviewing spending fast and visual.

Who it's for

Built for anyone who wants a lightweight personal finance dashboard, and for developers who want a clean first project involving data visualisation.

Why it was built

It combines everyday CRUD operations with a dashboard layer, giving a complete, end-to-end feel without requiring advanced real-time or AI concepts.
