Project Idea 💡

KSP (Knowledge Sharing Platform) is an open-source initiative designed to streamline academic feedback and resource sharing among students. The platform enables students to rate professors, share course reviews, and access essential academic resources. With its robust tech stack and user-centric design, KSP aims to simplify the academic journey while fostering a collaborative learning community.

My Contributions 💻

• Responsive Design: Implemented the responsive design for the "Add Note & Add PYQ" page, ensuring a seamless user experience across devices.
• Feature Enhancements: Contributed to the "Rate the Professor" feature by refining the UI/UX, which allows students to rate professors based on teaching effectiveness, approachability, and course organization.
• Backend Integrations: Assisted in developing and optimizing RESTful APIs along with integrating firestore & Cloudinary to efficiently manage user ratings and feedback.

What I gained 📈

• Technical Expertise: Advanced my full-stack development skills with frameworks such as React, Next.js, and Express.
• Collaborative Growth: Enhanced my experience working within the open-source community through continuous collaboration with mentors and peers at FOSS Overflow.
• Real-World Problem Solving: Gained valuable insights into addressing challenges like responsive design, API development, and database optimization in a production environment.

Experience ✌️
