During my internship at Solvd, I gained valuable experience by working on both a personal and a team project, which allowed me to enhance my full-stack development skills, deepen my understanding of key technologies, and collaborate effectively in an Agile environment.

Personal Project: University Admission Calculator

I developed a dynamic web application using Node.js, JavaScript and MySQL to calculate university tuition fees and determine admission eligibility based on student exam scores. The project included building a RESTful API with Express.js, using EJS for templating, and MySQL for data storage. I also implemented JWT authentication with both refresh and access tokens for secure user sessions. To ensure smooth deployment, I containerized the application using Docker and set up CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment. Additionally, I worked on the frontend, creating an intuitive interface for users to input scores and view their results.

Team Project: Alias Game

As part of an Agile team, we worked collaboratively on the development of "Alias," a Node.js-based multiplayer word-guessing game with real-time chat and word validation features. The team utilized technologies such as Nest.js, Mongoose, MongoDB, and Docker for backend development. JWT authentication was implemented for secure user sessions, and Socket.io was integrated to enable real-time communication. On the frontend, we contributed to the development using React to design an interactive user interface for gameplay and chat. We followed Agile practices, including sprint planning and code reviews, which strengthened our collaboration and ensured the development of a scalable and reliable application.

This internship gave me the opportunity to apply what I learned in practice, helping me improve both my technical and communication skills while working on projects.
