This is an extensive case study on the full-stack web ecosystem I developed for Harold International College of London.
Technology Stack
I built this highly scalable architecture using modern tools and deployment pipelines to ensure stability, fast delivery, and secure integrations.
Key Features & Integrations
- Core Architecture: Built entirely on the MERN stack supplemented by Next.js for SEO-optimized, blazing-fast frontend delivery.
- Authentication: Implemented stateless, secure user sessions utilizing JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for administrative access.
- Infrastructure: Deployed onto a robust Amazon EC2 instance, utilizing Docker containerization to ensure identical environments across development and production.
- CI/CD Pipeline: Fully automated deployments using GitHub Pipelines, meaning zero-downtime updates and reliable code shipping.
- Media Management: Integrated with Cloudinary for heavily optimized, on-the-fly image and asset processing.
- Communications: Configured a custom SMTP email server to handle secure authentication codes and student communication.
