What you'll learn

• Spin up React + Django with JWT auth, protected routes, and token refresh end-to-end.
• Build KYC: models, serializers, file uploads, and a React flow to capture/review data.
• Model money: wallets, transactions, savings, and write stable DRF serializers.
• Integrate Stripe; fund wallets; handle deposits, withdrawals, transfers, beneficiaries.
• Create dashboards that consume APIs for balances, activity, and transaction details.
• Create savings goals and in-app notifications with fast React UIs.

Description

Tired of “hello world” tutorials? We’re building a real fintech app, end-to-end, with Django (DRF) and React. By the time you’re done, you’ll have a working banking-style project with JWT auth, KYC, Stripe funding, wallets, transfers, savings goals, transactions, dashboards, and notifications. Not theory. Shippable code.

We start fast: spin up React + Django, wire JWT with refresh tokens, lock down protected routes, and ship clean login/register flows. Then we get practical with compliance-style KYC: models, serializers, file uploads, and a React workflow to submit and review data.

Next, the money layer: wallets, transactions, funding, deposits, withdrawals, modeled cleanly in DRF with serializers you won’t be embarrassed to maintain. We integrate Stripe in test mode, handle web-ish edge cases, and surface clear errors and toasts on the frontend.

Transfers and beneficiaries? You’ll build the APIs and the React UX: searchable lists, quick actions, optimistic updates, and loading states that don’t feel janky.

You’ll create savings goals with real progress, plus a dashboard that actually tells a story: balances, recent activity, and transaction drill-downs. We also add in-app notifications so users know what just happened and why.

Throughout, we keep the stack modern and sane: environment variables, API clients, modular React components, and readable DRF views/serializers.

You’ll test endpoints with Postman and wire everything into React without spaghetti.

If you want a portfolio project that looks like a product (not a tutorial), this is it. You’ll leave with a repo you can demo, extend, or take to production with minimal rework.

Who this course is for:

• React devs who want a real backend and payments, not to-do apps.
• Django devs looking to build a modern React front end and clean API patterns.
• Bootcamp grads needing a portfolio project with auth, KYC, and Stripe.
• Product-minded engineers standardizing DRF + React patterns for teams.
• Founders/PMs who want to understand fintech flows and ship MVPs quickly.
