Streamlining Education for the Modern Learner
I worked as the lead developer on Smart Approaches We Learn, an ed-tech platform for cohort-based learning in courses like Business Analysis, Data Analysis, and Software Product Development. The platform features student assignments, project reviews, grading, and secure payments via Stripe.

The problem
For years, Smart Approaches We Learn operated offline, relying on manual processes for student registrations, assignment submissions, project reviews, and performance tracking. This approach led to inefficiencies, communication gaps, and delays in feedback and grading. As the number of students and courses grew, it became increasingly difficult to manage operations effectively. Teachers struggled to track student progress, while students faced delays in receiving feedback. Additionally, administrators lacked real-time insights into enrollment trends and overall performance. To address these challenges, the organization decided to transition to a fully online platform, aiming to streamline processes, improve collaboration, and provide real-time access to critical learning data for all stakeholders.
The SAWL Learning System
To streamline the learning experience for students, teachers, and administrators, it was essential to build a robust, flexible learning system. The SAWL Learning System was designed to support cohort-based learning, assignment submissions, project reviews, and real-time feedback. This system ensures consistency across the platform while providing an intuitive, engaging experience for all users.
