Can you tell about your independent projects that you are engaged in or have been involved in?

In one of my independent projects, I developed a simple personal expense tracking application in Java using Swing for the graphical interface. The application allowed adding, editing, and deleting expense records, as well as saving data to a local JSON file.

Another project was a small REST API on Spring Boot for task management (todo-list), where I implemented basic CRUD operations and used the built-in H2 database for data storage. This helped me better understand working with frameworks and REST architecture.

These projects helped me reinforce my knowledge of working with collections, input-output streams, and also learn the basics of web development in Java.
