1. The Identified Problem

University internship placement and student monitoring across Francophone Africa still rely on paper forms, scattered emails, and manual spreadsheets, leading to roughly 30% unverified agreements and zero actionable data.

2. Solution Engineered

A complete cloud infrastructure connecting 5 core roles (universities, corporate hosts, students, academic supervisors, and ministries) with automated approval workflows, tamper-proof digital agreements, and a real-time employability observatory.

3. Results & Measurable Impact

Live operational MVP on stageconnect.app. 2026-2027 academic pilot in preparation, targeting 10 to 15 private universities in Benin (signatures from October 2026).

Came up with the idea during my bachelor's thesis defense and scoped the MVP around 4 journeys: student, company, university and admin.
Architecture and stack: feature-sliced FastAPI API, Next.js frontend, Supabase (PostgreSQL) and Redis caching.
The entire frontend: one dashboard per role plus the public website.
Backend for the Student and University journeys, and application security: HttpOnly cookie sessions, role-based access control, automated security scans (SAST, OWASP ZAP).
1,100+ automated tests and the whole delivery pipeline: Docker images pushed to GHCR, deployment to staging then production from CI, self-hosted Woodpecker CI on the VPS, OWASP ZAP scans on staging.
