🚨 Risk Mitigation

High Risk Items:

1. CV Upload Integration

   • Risk: MinIO integration complexity
   • Mitigation: Test early, fallback to simple file upload

2. Admin Backend Endpoints Missing

   • Risk: Need to create UserController endpoints
   • Mitigation: Backend is well-structured, should be quick

3. Performance Issues

   • Risk: Slow page loads
   • Mitigation: Implement caching, optimize queries

Medium Risk Items:

1. Cross-browser compatibility

   • Mitigation: Test early and often

2. Mobile responsiveness

   • Mitigation: Use mobile-first approach

3. Domain/SSL setup

   • Mitigation: Test on staging first

📞 Support & Resources

When Stuck:

1. Check existing documentation
