Finance Tracker
Finance Tracker is a full-stack web application for managing personal budgets, transactions, investments, and financial goals from a single interface. It is structured as a larger product-style project rather than a small demo.
Project Overview
The app combines expense tracking and portfolio monitoring so financial data does not live in separate tools. It aims to give users a clearer picture of cash flow, progress toward goals, and investment performance.
Key Features
- Budget management with categorized spending oversight
- Transaction tracking for day-to-day financial records
- Portfolio monitoring across investments and currencies
- Goal tracking for savings targets and longer-term planning
- Analytics and forecasting to surface trends over time
Technical Highlights
Full-Stack Architecture
The project uses Next.js with the App Router on the frontend and a PostgreSQL database through Prisma on the backend. Authentication is handled with NextAuth.js, which positions the app well for account-based usage and protected financial data.
Product Scope
Compared with the smaller projects in the portfolio, this one signals the ability to design a broader application surface area with multiple domains, richer data modeling, and dashboard-style UX.
Why It Belongs In The Portfolio
This project deserves inclusion because it shows larger application scope and stronger product ambition. Even without a live demo, it adds depth to the portfolio by representing a more substantial full-stack build.
