Building InternMatch: A Full-Stack Platform to Connect Students with Internships

The Problem
Finding the right internship can be a challenge for students, and managing hundreds of applications is equally hard for organizations. I built InternMatch to bridge this gap.

Tech Stack
I chose the MERN stack to ensure a scalable and responsive experience:
Frontend: React.js for a dynamic user interface.
Backend: Node.js and Express.js for building the RESTful API.
Database: MongoDB for efficient data storage and management.

Key Features
Dual-Dashboard System: Dedicated interfaces for both students and organizations.

Student Portal: Allows students to upload their CVs and track application statuses in real-time.

Organization Portal: Enables recruiters to post new opportunities and manage the applicant pipeline.

Smart Matching: Helps connect the right talent with the right requirements.

What I Learned
Building this project helped me master state management in React and deepened my understanding of how to structure a secure backend for handling user data.
