I’m kicking off a new Learning Management System and need a developer who can drive the entire build, from the first database table to the final front-end interaction. The immediate priority is the Node.js back-end: you’ll stand up a clean Express (or Nest) codebase, wire in a relational or NoSQL store, and expose secure, documented endpoints. The first API milestone is robust user authentication—JWT or OAuth is fine as long as it’s production-ready and easily extendable for role-based access later on. Once the back-end foundation is solid, we’ll move to the React front-end. I’d like to see the following three features come to life in our initial sprint: • Fresh, responsive user interface skeleton that sets the design language • Core course-management screens (create, edit, enroll) powered by live data • Real-time progress-tracking display that reflects the learner’s status I value clean, self-documenting code, meaningful Git commits, and open communication on architectural choices. If you’ve already shepherded a full-scale project from conception through deployment—especially an LMS—your experience will shine here.
