Software Developer Intern @ Samarik Digital
May 2021 – Aug 2021
Worked as a freelance intern building a cross-platform mobile application for skill-based learning and competition.
The problem
Learning new skills is more engaging when progress is visible and peers can compare or compete.
The approach
- Built the MERN stack backend and React Native mobile app.
- Added progress tracking and skill-showcase features.
- Worked directly with Samarik Digital as a freelance intern.
Impact
Shipped a complete gamified learning platform end-to-end
First freelance project that tied learning to social proof
What I learned
- Gamification only works when points map to real progress.
- End-to-end ownership forces you to care about UX, not just code.
