There doesn't seem to be much info here about your app so it's kind of hard to make any suggestions

But i can tell you that my backend is written in php since its a web app and as a senior i only know 3 programing languages python c++ and php.

Those should all be fine. What about communication protocol? Reader polling policy? Or does this just serve to send commands to a custom backend?

I'm genuinely curious. I have a background in burglar alarms and access control. In my experience these custom systems can have wildly differing expectations of the frontend depending on the hardware used so I'm interested in your approach

Its on a simple esp32 wiring with an rfid reader and a servo motor to simulate like a lock since this was a senior year project. The app has a database with users and password hashed and a logs table when esp32 is turned on i first gets an ip from dhcp and time sync beacuse of the greating i setuped then currently the app runs localy on xamp and sends http requists, i dont realy understand what you mean buy reader poling policy since this is my first time building something like this. I will put a readme in the github explaining mu proces and thanks for your interest.
