Experience
Stacklearner
I developed Stacklearner as an academic project with two other students. My responsibility was creating the client's UI and handling the authentication module in the back end.
Holistically, Stacklearner's objective is to enable aspiring developers to quickly transition into full-stack JavaScript development without missing its core concepts by building a robust and practical understanding of JavaScript.
From an instructional standpoint, Stacklearner enables instructors to create, edit, and delete learning paths that may include one or more projects. These projects, in turn, consist of video-based instructional and conceptual tutorials categorized under modules. In addition, the system allows instructors to review students' feedback and answer their questions.
We followed a token-based authentication approach using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to implement the system's security. All the API routes that require user authentication contain an additional layer of middleware that validates the token received in the authorization header.

Dashboard to Monitoring Customer Activity
A web application built using React and Node.js to allow the customer success and customer support teams to handle the requests to upgrade/downgrade the customer's account, extend the trials, edit the license, generate One Time Password and transfer the account.
Along with the above mentions functionalities, the dashboard also offers the usage statistics overview tracked on MixPanel. I also handled the deployment of the website (AWS Elastic Beanstalk, CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and S3), and the dashboard is linked with the primary app itself, taking care of all the security such that no regular user can access any of the routes.

Dal Learning Management System
I developed a multi-cloud serverless learning management system (similar to Brightspace) following the Agile development environment. Some key features of the application are ChatBot, a chat platform for users, data processing and sentiment analysis of the chats, and clustering of files uploaded based on the content.
The front end of the website was built using React. It uses back-end-as-a-service like AWS Lambda (Python), AWS SageMaker, AWS Comprehend, AWS Cognito, Google Cloud App Engine, Google Cloud Function, Google Cloud AI Platform, and Google Cloud Firestore. Deployed the application's front-end on AWS S3 and connected all the AWS Lambda functions using AWS API Gateway and all Google Cloud Functions using Google Cloud API Endpoint.
