Brandeis Collab
TL;DR: Â In response to the tech layoffs in 2022 and 2023, I built a collaboration hub for my fellow students at Brandeis University. The platform was developed using EJS, Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB.
Intro
In light of the widespread tech layoffs in 2022 and 2023, I took the initiative to establish a collaboration hub. This platform is designed to empower not just my classmates but CS students at large. It provides a space for them to bolster their portfolios, hone their teamwork skills, and immerse themselves in tangible project experiencesâproviding a valuable alternative to traditional summer internships.

Backend
The backend of this website was built with node.js and express.js using Mongo Atlas as a database.
Front end
The front end of the product was made with EJS. I choose EJS because of its development speed, high-capability to integrate with Express, and its reliability.
