Overview
Pre-professional networking platform specifically designed for Wellesley College students and alumni in tech and tech-adjacent fields. Built front-end and back-end entirely from scratch as a team project.
The platform addresses the unique networking challenges faced by students transitioning from academia to the technology industry, providing tailored features for pre-professional connections, mentorship opportunities, and career development within the Wellesley community.
Technical Challenge
This project presented significant technical challenges as I had to learn HTML and CSS from scratch while simultaneously implementing complex database interactions and full-stack architecture. The learning curve involved mastering both frontend technologies and backend database design within a single semester.
Despite starting with zero prior knowledge in frontend technologies, the team successfully delivered a fully functional networking platform with user authentication, database integration, and responsive design.
