Bug Tracker

A professional bug and issue tracking application built with ASP.NET MVC and deployed to Azure. Features user authentication, role-based access control, project and ticket management, priorities, statuses, comments, and full CRUD workflows. The live portfolio demo uses SQLite to keep hosting lightweight, portable, and cost-effective, while still demonstrating relational database design, Entity Framework data access, authentication, and production-style application architecture.
