CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
This report outlines my internship experience at Uptoskills as a MERN
Stack Developer and Team Lead. The internship focused on developing
a full-stack web platform using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js,
React.js, Node.js) technology stack. During this period, I contributed to
the development, deployment, and enhancement of various web-based
solutions while managing a small team of developers.
1.2 Company Details
● Company Name: Uptoskills
● Industry: EdTech & Job Recruitment
● Project Domain: Full-Stack Web Development (MERN Stack)
● Mentor: Tushar Deep
● Internship Duration: 25 December - 25 March
● Role: Full-Stack Developer & Team Lead
● Website: www.uptoskills.com
● About: Uptoskills is a skill development platform that provides learners with
hands-on training, real-time projects, and internship opportunities in emerging
technologies like Full Stack Development, AI/ML, Data Science, etc.
1.3 Problem Statement
There is a growing gap between academic knowledge and industry-ready skills in the
domain of full-stack development. Many students lack access to a practical
Department of Computer Engineering, PCCOER, Pune Page no. 6
environment where they can apply the
oretical knowledge in a real-world setting. This project aimed to bridge that gap by
developing a real-time, scalable MERN-based web platform, giving learners a
hands-on experience.
components of web application:
● Student Dashboard
● Job Portal
● Hackathon Management
● HR & Admin Dashboards
● Role-Based Authentication System Ensuring seamless integration, security, and
performance optimization was a key challenge.
1.4 Objectives
● To build a responsive, scalable full-stack web application.
● To use the MERN stack to integrate front-end and back-end services.
● To lead a team of developers and ensure smooth collaboration.
● To practice agile methodology and industry-standard version control
(Git/GitHub).
● To deploy the application and ensure its security and performance.

CHAPTER 2: METHODOLOGY/ PROPOSED
SYSTEM
2.1 Proposed System Architecture/Framework
The system was built using the MERN stack:
● MongoDB – as a NoSQL database for high-performance data storage.
● Express.js – to create APIs and handle server-side routing.
● React.js – to build a responsive and dynamic UI.
● Node.js – to handle backend logic and server operation

Department of Computer Engineering, PCCOER, Pune Page no. 8
Architecture Overview:
● Frontend (React.js): Uses reusable components, React Router, and hooks.
● Backend (Node.js + Express): Provides RESTful API endpoints.
● Database (MongoDB): Stores user data, project data, and other collections.
● Authentication: JWT-based secure login/signup.
Department of Computer Engineering, PCCOER, Pune Page no. 9
● Deployment: Hosted on Render/Vercel for frontend, and MongoDB Atlas for
the database.
2.2 Algorithms
● The following algorithms and logic were implemented:
● JWT Authentication Algorithm – for secure login sessions.
● CRUD Operations – for user and data management.
● Search and Filter Algorithms – for improved user experience.
● Team Management Logic – for assigning tasks dynamically using roles and
permissions.
