I upgraded Nexus AI into a full-stack student career operating system.
Nexus AI helps college students track internship applications, certifications, projects, skills, networking, interview prep, resume notes, and semester career goals in one workspace.
The app now includes:
- JavaScript dashboard
- FastAPI backend
- SQLite database
- GitHub Pages localStorage fallback
- Career readiness scoring
- Target-role skill-gap analysis
- Workspace import/export
- Resume coaching checklist
- Backend smoke test and API contract test
This project helped me practice frontend state management, API design, database modeling, full-stack integration, and building around a real student workflow.
The biggest lesson: career preparation is not one task. It is a system. Students need a way to connect applications, projects, skills, deadlines, and follow-ups so they can see what to do next.
Next steps: authentication, PostgreSQL deployment, and connecting CareerLens AI recommendations directly into Nexus AI.
