Complete MEAN Stack Build

I’m starting a green-field web application and want it built end-to-end on the MEAN stack. The Angular frontend and the Node.js (Express) backend should be developed in parallel so features roll out smoothly across both layers. Because no database exists yet, you’ll also design and spin up a fresh MongoDB instance, define the schema, and wire it to the API.

To give you a feel for scope: the UI will need common components (dashboards, forms, modals) while the server side should expose clean REST endpoints and handle authentication, validation, and any required business logic. Performance and code readability matter as much as functionality, so please follow best practices, use modular structure, and comment where it helps future maintenance.

Deliverables
• Angular SPA with responsive layout
• Express-based API with well-documented routes
• New MongoDB database, schema design, and seed data
• Setup scripts / environment files so I can run everything locally with one command
• Brief hand-off notes or video walk-through highlighting project structure and deployment steps

The tech choice is fixed to Angular, Node.js, and MongoDB; beyond that I’m flexible on ancillary tools—feel free to introduce NestJS, Mongoose, JWT, or your preferred testing framework if it speeds development and keeps the codebase solid.

Timeline is negotiable but please outline realistic milestones in your proposal so we can align expectations early.
