Real-Time Transit Schedule and Route Planning Application

Added Jun 2025 3 design docs

Commuters lose time every day to buses and trains they cannot see coming: schedules change, delays go unannounced, and route planning across lines is guesswork. This project builds a public transport companion that puts live schedule information and route planning in riders' hands while giving transit staff the tools to keep that information accurate. The intern implements a Django backend with PostgreSQL modeling routes, stops, schedules, and user accounts, exposing APIs the frontend consumes for real-time schedule lookups and notifications about delays or changes. The rider-facing interface is built with Next.js, React, and TypeScript, styled with Tailwind CSS, and includes visualizations of routes and timetables plus a route planner that helps users chain services together. An authenticated admin panel lets transit operators publish and adjust schedules, which flow straight through to what riders see. Building it end to end teaches relational schema design for scheduling data, API design for frequently refreshed information, and role-separated interfaces, leaving the intern with a realistic civic-tech product that demonstrates fullstack proficiency.

Sales and Revenue Intelligence Dashboard for Growing Businesses

Small and mid-sized companies collect sales, revenue, and customer data across spreadsheets and disconnected tools, leaving decision-makers without a single trustworthy view of how the business is performing. This project builds that missing view: a business intelligence dashboard where teams log in and immediately see the metrics that matter. The intern develops a FastAPI backend that aggregates raw sales, revenue, and customer records stored in MySQL and exposes clean analytics endpoints, then builds a Next.js and React frontend in TypeScript that turns those endpoints into interactive charts and filterable views styled with Tailwind CSS. Secure authentication and role-based access ensure an analyst, a manager, and an administrator each see the data appropriate to their role, and the dashboard updates as new records flow in. The project exercises the full stack in a realistic business context: designing aggregation queries, structuring REST APIs, managing typed frontend state, and presenting data visually so non-technical users can act on it. Completing it demonstrates the intern can deliver a secure, data-driven product from database schema to polished interface.

Role-Based Authentication and Session Management Portal

Authentication is the front door of every web application, and it is where real products most often fail: weak password storage, broken session handling, and missing authorization checks are perennial causes of breaches. This project has the intern build that front door properly, as a complete, security-first authentication system rather than a bolted-on afterthought. The intern implements user registration and login on an Express and Node.js backend with MongoDB, hashing passwords with a modern algorithm and issuing JWT-based sessions that the frontend consumes safely. Role-based access control distinguishes ordinary users from administrators, protecting sensitive routes on both the API and the Next.js, React, and TypeScript frontend, which provides polished, Tailwind-styled flows for sign-up, sign-in, and account management. The project emphasizes the details that separate secure systems from vulnerable ones: token expiry and refresh, input validation, and defense against common attacks on auth endpoints. Completing it gives the intern a working reference implementation of web security best practices and the ability to explain, concretely, how modern applications keep user identity and sessions safe.

Conversational Route and Schedule Assistant for Public Transit

Public transit riders mostly have simple questions: when is the next bus, which line reaches the stadium, is this route running today. Yet the answers are buried in PDF schedules and clunky trip planners. Every confused rider becomes a support call or a lost fare, and transit agencies rarely have the staff to answer questions around the clock. The intern builds a conversational assistant for transportation websites using React and TypeScript, with agentic AI at the core. The agent interprets natural-language questions about routes, schedules, and service changes, consults structured route data, and replies conversationally, asking clarifying questions when a request is ambiguous and handling follow-ups in context. The intern designs the chat interface for accessibility and mobile use, and structures the agent's tools so every answer stays grounded in actual schedule data rather than plausible-sounding guesses. The project is a practical introduction to agentic AI product design: defining what the agent can and cannot do, grounding its responses in authoritative data, and building the type-safe, responsive interface that a public-facing service demands.
