01 · Challenge

What needed to change

Student communities rely on fragmented channels for updates, conversations, and finding people to study with. The product needed to unify those jobs without becoming difficult to navigate.

02 · Response

What we built

We designed and implemented a prioritised feed, post interactions, one-to-one chat with refresh logic, notifications, study-buddy requests, and a release workflow for desktop distribution.

03 · Outcome

What the work enabled

A cohesive end-to-end product demonstrating account state, social interactions, realtime behaviour, backend APIs, and the practical work required to stabilise a multi-feature application.
