AutoTracker is a full-stack vehicle lifecycle and automotive service management platform designed for both individual vehicle owners and automotive service businesses.
The platform centralizes vehicle records, maintenance history, mileage tracking, expenses, reminders, reports, customer management, service workflows, inventory tracking, part sales, financial statistics, and internal service notes within a single modern application.
Built with React, ASP.NET Core Web API, PostgreSQL, and Docker, AutoTracker focuses on secure authentication, scalable architecture, user-based data isolation, validated API workflows, and real-world software engineering practices.
AutoTracker supports two main platform areas:
- Vehicle Owner Platform — For managing personal vehicles, maintenance records, mileage, expenses, reminders, notes, and reports.
- Automotive Service Platform — For service centers and repair shops to manage customers, customer vehicles, work orders, inventory, part sales, financial reports, and service notes.
AutoTracker consists of two integrated platforms designed for different user groups while sharing the same secure backend infrastructure.

Vehicle-related information is often scattered across spreadsheets, paper records, notebooks, and disconnected software solutions. Automotive service businesses also face challenges in managing customers, vehicle histories, inventory, and financial operations through a single centralized system.
AutoTracker was developed to bring these workflows together into one modern platform. It enables individual vehicle owners to manage their vehicles, maintenance history, expenses, reminders, and reports, while providing automotive service businesses with tools for customer management, service operations, inventory tracking, part sales, financial reporting, and internal documentation.
Beyond solving real-world operational problems, AutoTracker serves as a portfolio-grade full-stack software engineering project demonstrating modern development practices including secure authentication, RESTful API design, layered architecture, relational database modeling, DTO-based validation, Dockerized deployment, and scalable application design.

AutoTracker follows a modern full-stack architecture where a React frontend communicates with an ASP.NET Core Web API through RESTful endpoints. Authentication is handled using JWT, data access is managed with Entity Framework Core, and PostgreSQL provides persistent relational storage.
The entire application stack is containerized with Docker and orchestrated through Docker Compose, creating a scalable, maintainable, and deployment-ready environment.
AutoTracker is built using a modern full-stack technology ecosystem designed for scalability, maintainability, security, and real-world deployment scenarios.
