Smart File Manager (SFM) is a digital housekeeper that uses metadata, natural language processing, and AI clustering algorithms to automate file management. SFM can perform smart context searches, navigate directories with an intuitive graph view, and automatically sort your files for you. It's a versatile AI file finder and a new best friend for modern computer users.

🤝 Team Profiles

Name	Role & LinkedIn	Description
Jack Bawden	Golang & Python	I have a passion for computer science and started self-teaching in 6th grade. I have extensive knowledge of full-stack web development, including curating a complex backend connected to BaaS systems. For web development, I started off with React, eventually moving over to NextJS. I've worked with MongoDB, MySQL, and Postgres databases, with Supabase being my favourite database provider. Through both formal and informal education, I've gained knowledge in a wide variety of technologies. I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of programming.
Philipp du Plessis	Golang & Python	I'm a developer with a passion for learning new things. I've developed projects ranging from low-level C++ database engines and simulations to a production-ready Flask-based job card and inventory management web app for a company. I prefer low-level and backend development and have a strong interest in heuristic-based AI solutions. I aim to provide value to this project, particularly in terms of the concurrency and natural language processing requirements. I always enjoy the thrill of tackling new and exciting challenges.
Tiaan Bosman	UX & UI Developer Flutter & Dart	I love creating impactful user experiences and building good, functional web applications. Beyond programming, I thrive in collaborative environments; supporting, guiding, and working alongside others to achieve shared goals. Problem-solving excites me, and I constantly push myself to improve and deliver my best work. I'm eager to learn more and grow as a developer, and I have experience working on the backend, contributing to full-stack solutions.
Henco Pretorius	Golang & Python	I'm a passionate developer with a strong interest in theoretical computer science. I enjoy exploring new concepts and applying them to solve real-world problems. My project experience spans from building complex city simulations in C++ to developing JavaScript client libraries for NSQL database management systems. I have extensive experience in database design and implementation, with a solid grasp of both relational and non-relational models. I bring great value to any project thanks to my broad skill set, adaptability, and enthusiasm for contributing wherever I'm needed.
Dewald Colesky	Backend Legend Golang & Python	Final year Computer Science student at University of Pretoria passionate about technology and software development. Strong interest in game development (fueled by a lifelong love of gaming) and cybersecurity. Eager to apply academic knowledge to real-world applications in these fields.

📁 Git Structure

Our repository follows a modular monorepo structure, where different components of the system are organized into separate directories:

• golang/ – Contains the core backend that handles communication with AI services and the frontend, while managing all file operations and system logic.
• python/ – Houses the AI clustering algorithms responsible for intelligent file system organization and sorting based on content analysis.
• protos/ – Defines the gRPC protocol buffer definitions that enable efficient inter-service communication across different system components.
• app/ – Contains the Flutter frontend application that provides the user interface for interacting with the Smart File Manager system.

🌳 Branching Strategy

We follow a structured GitFlow branching model to ensure efficient development and collaboration.

Main Branches

• main – The stable production branch containing only tested and deployed code.
• dev – The primary development branch where all feature and system-specific branches are merged. Branching Workflow
• From dev, feature branches are created for new functionality or fixes. - Once a feature is completed, it is merged back into the dev branch after review.
