SkillBridge
Job platform that connects people with disabilities, the elderly, and other vulnerable groups with employers — job search with filters, applications and tracking, and employer posting with admin approval.

Overview
SkillBridge is a specialised job board for vulnerable groups — people with disabilities, the elderly, and others who struggle on general job sites. It gives them a dedicated, supportive place to find work, and shows employers what they gain by hiring from these groups, such as tax deductions and corporate social responsibility goals. The team worked in Scrum sprints with a shared Notion workspace for the backlog, milestones, and meetings.
Screenshots
Job search with filters for type, salary, days, hours, and location (no demo jobs loaded). 
Employer dashboard: post jobs, find applicants, and track applications. 
Separate sign-up for job seekers and employers, with Google sign-in.
Problem and intended users
General job boards are not designed for these groups: postings are not inclusive, stigma discourages applicants, and employers who want to hire them have no simple channel.
Job seekers from vulnerable groups, employers (individuals and companies), and administrators who approve employer accounts.
Role
Product owner — stakeholder requirements, product backlog, and sprint planning in a Scrum team.
Team contribution
As product owner I gathered and analysed requirements, turned them into the product backlog, and set priorities for each sprint. Teammates implemented the frontend and the backend.

Implementation
- Job seekers: sign up (including Google), search jobs with filters, view details, apply, and track applications.
- Employers: register as an individual or a company, post jobs with a rich-text editor, find applicants, and track who applied.
- Admin approval of new employer accounts before they can post.
- Skill and job categories used to match job seekers with suitable posts.
- REST API in Express with Zod validation, sessions, and Helmet; PostgreSQL schema and migrations with Drizzle ORM; Docker Compose and Nginx for deployment.
- Git Flow (main, develop, feature branches) and two sprints with milestones tracked in Notion.

Known limitations
- The class deployment is no longer online; the screenshots come from the frontend built locally without data.
Lessons learned
- Requirements work is engineering: accessibility goals have to be explicit before interface or data-model decisions.
- A clear backlog with priorities is what lets a student team ship in short sprints.
