International Exchange Student Portal

This project aimed to build a user-friendly platform for managing international student exchanges. My team began by analyzing the solution documents of three other teams, extracting the most effective and innovative ideas, and combining them into a unified prototype that we presented to the client. Upon receiving approval, we started development using the Scrum methodology.

After validating the prototype with the client, we entered an iterative development cycle using Scrum. We held planning and review sessions, and each sprint focused on a specific functional set such as authentication, student dashboards, or admin management. We constantly evaluated progress and adapted based on client feedback.

One challenge was merging different design philosophies and technical approaches from the three initial teams. To overcome this, I discussed every option thoroughly with my team and others to justified every feature in the final prototype. Maintaining clear communication with the client also helped align expectations early, reducing friction later in development.

As of now, we are in the final sprint. Most core functionalities have been implemented, and we are focusing on polishing the user experience, resolving bugs, and preparing for the final delivery and presentation to the client.
