App Architecture

This app follows the MVVM Design Pattern to ensure a clear separation of concerns:

• Model: Handles data and business logic.
• ViewModel: Acts as a mediator between the Model and View.
• View: Displays the data to the user and interacts with the ViewModel.

For state management, Riverpod is used to:

• Handle dynamic updates in UI.
• Manage user preferences and job data efficiently.
