Project Overview

Archeway is a comprehensive full-stack web application designed to streamline the internship application process for students. Built with Flask and modern web technologies, it provides a centralized platform for tracking job applications, managing deadlines, and analyzing application success rates.

The platform features a sleek dashboard, kanban-style organization, calendar integration, and detailed analytics to help students stay organized and maximize their internship opportunities. Originally developed as a team project for our Software Engineering class, my friends and I have successfully brought Archeway from concept to production, serving real users in their internship search journey.

The application demonstrates practical full-stack development skills while addressing a genuine need in the student community, with secure OAuth authentication, responsive design, and real-time data visualization.

Challenges & Solutions

Security Implementation

Challenge: Building a production-ready application required comprehensive security measures to protect user data and prevent common web vulnerabilities.

Solution: Implemented CSRF protection across all forms and API endpoints, built custom input sanitization utilities to prevent XSS attacks, added rate limiting, and configured secure Content Security Policy headers.

Drag-and-Drop Kanban

Challenge: Creating an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that persists state changes and provides immediate visual feedback across different devices.

Solution: Leveraged the HTML5 Drag and Drop API with custom event handlers, implemented optimistic UI updates with rollback on failure, and added touch support for mobile devices.

Production Deployment

Challenge: Transitioning from development to production required proper environment configuration, database migration, and monitoring setup.

Solution: Deployed on Azure with proper environment variables, implemented automated welcome emails using Flask-Mail, added error logging and monitoring, and set up SSL certificates for secure communication.
