React Staff Management MVP Build

I need a production-ready MVP of a staff management system and have set aside a firm budget of $500. The front-end should be built in React, while you may choose between a Python (FastAPI or Django REST) or Node Express back-end—whichever lets us move fastest without cutting corners... (Budget: $250 - $750 USD, Jobs: Django, Docker, FastAPI, MongoDB, Node.js, NoSQL Couch & Mongo, Python)
