Software Engineer Intern
SIS (Student Information System) - Contributed to the development of a sophisticated, scalable Learning Management System serving as the central hub for student and staff information, courses, and cohort assets. This white-labeled product has generated over seven figures in revenue to date. I enhanced user experience and data security by overhauling project labels for clarity and adding clickable GitHub profile links, implementing a discreet system for private information denotation visible only to authorized users, and engineering a seamlessly integrated blog app for efficient content administration. This blog app, which I linked to the admin panel, facilitated effortless creation, editing, and scheduling of blog posts and optimized content management through efficient database storage and retrieval of posts and associated information.
