## Motivation

When I graduated from Uni I felt like I wanted to help around my house more. So I decided I would
be in charge of purchasing groceries, cleaning supplies, and other household items. Then I realized I
could use my knowledge of backend development to build a system that would help me manage my inventory
ensuring that we would always be stocked up!

- To demonstrate my ability to develop Java and Spring applications with **test-driven development**
- To demonstrate my ability to design and implement **enterprise-ready backend systems**
- To demonstrate my ability to use **industry best practices** and clean project structure
