NexusEd — Collaborative EdTech Platform

Product / SaaS
Client: SandyTech (Own Product)
Period: 2024 - Present

NexusEd is a comprehensive EdTech platform designed around three interconnected ecosystems — students, teachers, and institutions. Students get personalized dashboards, progress tracking, and certificate management. Teachers access template-based content tools, live class scheduling, and portfolio pages. Institutions manage cohorts, analytics, and branding. The platform features WebRTC-powered live classrooms, an AI tutor powered by GPT-4o Vision, and a tutor marketplace with smart matching.

Problem Statement

Existing EdTech tools are siloed: teachers use one platform, students another, and institutions have no unified view. NexusEd unifies all three under one product.

Architecture & Technical Approach

Next.js frontend with React component library. Node.js/Express API layer. MongoDB for flexible schema across roles. WebRTC for live video. GPT-4o Vision for AI tutor.

Challenge

Building a multi-role platform with deeply different UX needs for students, teachers, and institutions while keeping the codebase maintainable and the UI cohesive.

Solution

Used role-based routing with shared component libraries, Tailwind CSS design tokens for consistent theming, and a modular Next.js app directory structure per role.

Impact

Enables end-to-end collaborative education management — from content creation to certification — in a single platform. Built and shipped from zero to production in 12 weeks.

Lessons Learned

Multi-role platforms require careful information architecture from day one
WebRTC requires careful NAT traversal and fallback handling for production reliability
AI tutors built on GPT-4o Vision need structured prompt engineering for educational context
