ArchPath AI

I am graduating with my BCA in 2026, and I realized a terrifying truth this semester: The gap between what we learn in the classroom and what the tech industry actually demands is massive. 🀯

My peers and I were spending hours reading generic "How to become a developer" blogs, only to end up more confused. We needed precise, personalized guidance. Not a static blog post.

So, instead of waiting for the syllabus to change, I built a solution.

Today, I'm launching ArchPath AI (https://archpath.vercel.app). πŸš€

It’s an intelligent Career Architect that generates step-by-step, real-time masterplans for over 20+ high-demand tech roles based on your exact academic level.

Building a full-stack AI application as a student usually means fighting with slow APIs, but I wanted to see how fast and scalable I could make this.

πŸ› οΈ The Architecture:
⚑ Frontend: Next.js 15, Tailwind, Shadcn/UI
πŸ—„οΈ Backend: @Supabase (Auth & RLS)
🧠 AI Engine: Llama 3.1 powered by @groq (generating roadmaps in milliseconds)
πŸš€ Deployment: @Vercel Edge Network

The hardest technical challenge wasn't just the AI prompt engineering; it was building a programmatic SEO architecture to ensure search engines can dynamically index emerging career paths (like AI Prompt Engineer or Cloud Architect).

It’s 100% free for students.

If you are a senior dev, a tech recruiter, or a fellow builder in the Next.js space, I would love your brutal feedback. Try it out and let me know if these AI roadmaps align with what you actually look for in junior talent! πŸ‘‡
