Problem

What needed to be solved

Internship and freelance matching involves many connected steps: candidate profiles, company pages, recruiter offers, applications, saved opportunities, notifications, and admin validation. Managing those flows in separate tools makes the process hard to follow.

Solution

How the project approaches it

I structured the project as a Spring Boot and MongoDB backend with REST endpoints for users, profiles, companies, offers, applications, subscriptions, payments, notifications, and AI matching results. The front-office and back-office flows were planned for Angular and Expo/React Native interfaces with role-based navigation.

Key features

What the project includes

Candidate and recruiter profile flows
Offer, application, favorite, and notification modules
Role-based admin and back-office planning
API documentation and delivery checklist

Architecture / Technical decisions

Implementation choices worth reviewing

Defined roles, entities, and API boundaries before committing to screens because the platform has candidate, recruiter, company, offer, and admin flows.
Planned the Spring Boot and MongoDB backend around REST endpoints for profiles, companies, offers, applications, notifications, subscriptions, payments, and matching results.
Separated front-office, back-office, and mobile interface planning so each role can keep a clear navigation model.

Validation / Quality

How I made the work reviewable

API documentation and delivery checklist included in project scope
Docker setup listed for repeatable development
Next improvements include automated API tests for core matching flows

What I learned

Technical takeaway

I learned how important it is to define roles, entities, and API contracts before building screens, especially in a platform with several connected user journeys.
