This project draws inspiration from concepts and structures covered in a course assignment. While the course served as a learning medium, all implementations and customizations with regards to the codebase have been done independently.

The course assignment that inspired this project can be found in the course repository and copy of my solutions. They provided valuable insights and served as a foundation for the development process.

I express my appreciation to the course instructorHarkirat Singh for creating educational content that contributed to the development of this project.
