Project Idea 💡

The CCPS Portal is an initiative aimed at enhancing the job and internship application process by providing students with structured tools like a Referral System and a Resume Builder while also ensuring a seamless authentication and analytics experience.

My Contributions 💻

🔹 End-to-End Authentication

Implemented a robust authentication system, including signup, login, and session management, ensuring secure user access. Integrated frontend forms with backend APIs for seamless user experience.

🔹 Analytics Dashboard

Developed a dashboard to visualize user activity and key metrics. Added an edit option to allow modification of stored data, improving data management capabilities.

🔹 Responsive Sidebar with Role-Based Access Control

Enhanced the sidebar UI to be fully responsive across devices. Implemented role-based constraints, ensuring users only see options relevant to their roles (e.g., students see Resume Builder, alumni see referral options).

🔹 End-to-End Referral System

Built a Referral System from scratch, allowing alumni to provide referrals to students. Features include:

• Alumni user role with referral privileges.
• Students can request referrals by submitting their resume and job details.
• Alumni can review and provide referrals based on student profiles.
• Privacy-focused design, ensuring only the requesting student can see the referral.

🔹 Resume Builder (Frontend & Backend)

Developed a Resume Builder feature that enables students to generate structured resumes directly from the portal.

• Frontend: Designed an intuitive and fully responsive UI.
• Backend: Implemented resume generation logic using PDFKit for efficient PDF creation.
• Optimized API calls, reducing backend load and improving performance.

What I Gained 📈

• Hands-on experience with backend optimization, reducing API calls for better efficiency.
• Improved frontend UI/UX skills, making responsive and role-based interfaces.
• Enhanced my knowledge of authentication, database management, and system design.

Experience ✌️

Participating in FOSS Overflow was an incredible learning journey. From developing key features to optimizing performance, I had the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to an open-source project. I will continue contributing to this project even beyond the 4-week tenure to further improve and expand its functionality! 🚀
