Social Media Platform

Developed a full-stack social media platform as part of a paid internship, collaborating with a team of 10 developers. The platform allowed users to create accounts, post text updates, interact with posts via likes and comments, and manage profiles. Key features included user authentication, a dynamic feed, and responsive design. The project was built using a MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), Git for version control, and Agile methodologies for efficient collaboration.

• What I Learned

  Strengthened my understanding of the MERN stack and RESTful APIs. Improved my ability to work in a fast-paced team environment, communicate effectively, and manage project timelines. Gained experience with Agile methodologies, version control, and deployment processes.

• Challenges I Faced

  Coordinating with a large team required mastering Git workflows and resolving frequent merge conflicts. Implementing robust user authentication and authorization with secure storage of sensitive data. Ensuring seamless responsiveness across a range of devices while handling performance bottlenecks.
