Campus Event Management System

Multi-tenant event management platform with role-based dashboards.

A campus event platform for administrators, coordinators, and participants, covering event operations, participant registration, attendance tracking, secure APIs, and cloud media workflows.

Problem

Campus events need structured registration, role separation, media handling, and operational visibility instead of scattered manual workflows.

Solution

Built dashboards and API flows around roles, events, participants, attendance, and secure data access.

Architecture

Next.js frontend, Node/Express API layer, PostgreSQL data model, Prisma ORM, JWT auth, and Cloudinary media storage.

My Contribution

Worked across UI flows, backend endpoints, authentication, database integration, and product-facing dashboards.

Campus Event Management System

Multi-tenant event operations with role-based dashboards.

Designed a product-style campus platform with event workflows, participant registration, attendance tracking, admin dashboards, secure APIs, and cloud media management.

Engineering challenge: keeping authentication and authorization consistent across multiple user roles.

Project details
Problem: Event teams need one place to manage events, roles, participants, media, and attendance.
Technical decision: Used JWT-based authentication with role-aware backend authorization patterns.
Solution: Structured dashboards and APIs around admin, coordinator, and participant workflows.
Result: A real full-stack system that demonstrates UI, API, database, auth, and deployment-oriented thinking.

Programmer Wallah - LMS Platform

Learning platform for courses, users, payments, certificates, and analytics.

Built LMS workflows with student, instructor, and admin panels, authentication, course purchase flows, certificates, revenue tracking, and dashboard analytics.

Engineering challenge: coordinating role-specific experiences while keeping data and validation flows maintainable.

Project details
Problem: An LMS needs clean separation between learners, instructors, and admin operations.
Technical decision: Used authenticated role-based panels and validation-oriented forms for core workflows.
Solution: Implemented course, purchase, certificate, analytics, and dashboard experiences with reusable UI patterns.
Result: Demonstrates full-stack product building beyond static pages.

Coffee Chat

Real-time communication platform for messaging, video calling, and social interactions.

Created chat, calling, friend management, groups, media uploads, validation, and real-time interaction flows using WebSocket and WebRTC concepts.

Engineering challenge: supporting responsive real-time UX while handling media and user relationship flows.

Project details
Problem: Communication apps need low-friction messaging, social state, and media support.
Technical decision: Used WebSocket for real-time messaging patterns and WebRTC for audio/video calling concepts.
Solution: Connected chat, call, friend, group, upload, and validation flows into one product experience.
Result: Shows comfort with event-driven features and full-stack integration.

About

Engineering mindset, not just UI.

How I think about software

I care about clean architecture, API design, database structure, authentication, performance, deployment, and code that stays understandable as the product grows.

My current focus is full-stack development with a backend and production-systems mindset: building features that are useful, secure, maintainable, and deployable.
