Employee Management System

About the System

The Employee Management System is a full-stack web application designed to manage employee data efficiently. The backend is built with Spring Boot (Java) using JPA for database operations, while the frontend is developed with React (Vite) and Bootstrap for responsive UI design. The system provides RESTful APIs for all CRUD operations and features a modern, user-friendly interface.
