The story

A study-buddy matching platform built with Google Developer Student Clubs — PLM and EPITA (France), helping students find compatible study partners by course, interest, and availability.

Problem

Problem

  • Students relied on informal groups or chance connections to find study partners

  • No structured way to match students by shared courses, interests, or availability

  • Limited communication channels made coordinating study sessions harder than it needed to be

Solution

Solution

Built a matching platform where students set study preferences and get paired with compatible partners, then coordinate directly through in-app messaging no need to leave the platform to schedule a session.

Technical approach

Technical approach

  • Built the frontend in Next.js with shadcn/ui and Tailwind for a consistent, component-based design system

  • Deployed on Vercel, enabling preview environments for cross-institution testing and validation with the EPITA (France) team

  • Handled user profiles, matching logic, and messaging through an API-based backend
