Introducing Aurora ERP: Streamlining Operations with Python and Modern Web Tech
Built to simplify and automate my own music instrument business, Aurora ERP is the perfect example of how a custom-built solution can empower operations and open doors to exciting new tech opportunities.
🚀 What is Aurora ERP?
Aurora ERP is a web-based enterprise resource planning system I developed to manage and optimize my company, Som da Terra, a music instrument store. It was built from scratch using Django (Python) on the backend and Tailwind CSS on the frontend for a clean and responsive UI.
Aurora is tailored to my business needs, yet modular and extendable — a reflection of both my engineering skills and my entrepreneurial mindset.
