Project Description
We need an experienced backend developer to bring our customer-facing mobile web app (PWA) live for a package-forwarding business in Trinidad. The frontend is already built; we need the backend API, the wiring, and deployment.

WHAT'S ALREADY DONE (provided to you)
═══════════════════════════════════════
- Complete React PWA prototype — 9 fully designed and tappable screens (login, dashboard, package detail, invoices, pre-alert form, profile, notifications, account settings, help & support). Loading, error, and empty states all designed. ~1,400 lines of clean, documented code.
- Complete API specification — 7 endpoints fully documented with request/response shapes, status enums, error handling, CORS requirements, and code-level instructions on how to wire the prototype to live data.
- Existing MySQL database with users, packages, and invoices already populated. Read access will be provided.

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO BUILD
═══════════════════════════════════════
1. Seven REST API endpoints exactly as specified in our API spec (auth login/logout, get user, list packages, get package detail, list invoices, submit pre-alert with file upload). API stack is your choice — PHP, Node.js, or Python.
2. Wire the React prototype to your API (the spec points at exactly which lines to update — three locations).
3. Deploy the PWA to app.swiftboxtt.com on a static host of your choice (Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages — all have free tiers that will work).
4. Configure CORS and DNS.
5. Deliver clean, documented code in a Git repository.
