Live

A matchmaking platform for university students to find teammates, co-founders and small paid tasks.

Full-stack: backend, frontend and deployment

  • Onboarding: profile, skills and working style used for matching

  • Public profile with projects, skills and open bounties

  • Project page in dark theme

  • Posting a bounty: a small paid task

What I built

  • Async FastAPI backend on PostgreSQL. People and projects are matched with semantic search over pgvector embeddings.
  • Real-time updates over WebSockets with Redis Pub/Sub. Redis also handles caching, rate limiting and short-lived WebSocket auth tickets.
  • Next.js 16 frontend in four languages (EN, DE, RU, ZH), installable as a PWA, with light and dark themes.
  • Runs on Docker Compose behind Caddy, which handles HTTPS and routes /api, /ws and /docs. Schema changes go through Alembic migrations.
  • Transactional email through Brevo in production and Mailpit locally.
