SkillEra – Academic Guidance & Recommendation Platform

SkillEra – Academic Guidance & Recommendation Platform

SkillEra is a backend-driven platform designed to provide personalized academic guidance for students through recommendation-based services and progress-aware learning workflows.

The system was built to address the common issue of generic learning advice by enabling structured learner records and recommendation-oriented APIs that adapt guidance based on each student’s progress and goals.

I designed and implemented scalable backend services using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, focusing on maintainable architecture and secure session handling. The platform includes JWT-based authentication, role-aware access control, and modular data models to support future recommendation improvements and platform growth.

Key Features

- Recommendation-oriented backend service architecture

- JWT authentication with authorization middleware

- Progress-aware APIs for learner dashboards

- Modular MongoDB schemas using Mongoose for scalable data modeling
