A production-inspired simulation of a National Biometric Registration System (NBRS) built with JavaScript and Node.js.
This project is designed as a learning and portfolio project to explore how modern government identity management platforms are architected. It follows enterprise software engineering practices including microservices, REST APIs, JWT authentication, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), automated testing, Git version control, and clean project organization.
The goal is to incrementally build a secure digital identity platform that resembles the architecture of real-world national registration systems while using only simulated data and without implementing or exposing any real government systems or confidential processes.
