Problem Statement
US Army personnel often face difficulties when shifting to the private tech sector due to a lack of tailored career support, limited networking opportunities, and the challenge of mapping military skills to civilian roles. A dedicated solution was required to streamline this transition and provide targeted resources.
Objectives
- Build a career platform tailored specifically to US Army veterans.
- Provide job listings and smart matching with private sector tech opportunities.
- Enable professional networking within veteran and employer communities.
- Offer access to skill development and training resources.
- Ensure scalability and seamless integration using modern technologies.
Implementation
The project was implemented as a web-based platform with a modular and scalable architecture:
- Cloud & Containerization: Kubernetes, Docker, and DigitalOcean were used to deploy and scale the platform efficiently.
- Database Management: A hybrid system with MongoDB and PostgreSQL handled structured and unstructured data.
- Frontend Development: ReactJS and Tailwind CSS powered an intuitive, responsive user interface aligned with modern UX practices.
- Backend Development: NodeJS and ExpressJS enabled robust APIs for jobs, networking, and resources.
Key takeaways include the importance of veteran-specific design considerations, optimizing database queries for large job datasets, and ensuring role-based access to sensitive data.
