The star rating is a representation of the overall rating, calculated as the mean of the client satisfaction rating, the average client interview rating, and internal interview scores.
The client satisfaction rating is the weighted average of client ratings, with weights based on reviewed work hours. When no client rating exists, the approval fraction (approved vs. reviewed work hours) determines it.
If the client satisfaction rating exceeds the overall rating, it becomes the star rating. In the absence of client ratings, if the average client interview rating is higher than the overall rating, it becomes the star rating. If no data is available, the star rating defaults to the internal interview score.

- I used Django REST Framework package to create authentication endpoints in the API, that made it possible for the end user to sign up to the platform and login afterwards.
- I used the Sendgrid API to send email verification emails upon initial registration to the platform as well as send password reset link emails in the case a user forgot their password.
- I used the Postgres Database to implement a multi-tenant DB architecture using a single Postgres database but individual db schemas to isolate tenant data.
