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.
