🎨 Tectoons - Art Management and E-Commerce Web Platform

Comprehensive system developed with Spring Boot for the first animation club in Trujillo.

Tectoons is a web platform designed to centralize the broadcasting, management, and commercialization of digital artworks. The project solves the lack of technological infrastructure for artistic collectives by providing professional tools for portfolio exhibition and product sales.
