Project Overview

Learning Management System is a full-stack e-learning platform built with a React 18 + Vite frontend and a Node.js + Express REST API backend. It enables instructors to publish video lessons and quizzes, gate course access behind Stripe payments, and automatically issue branded certificates on completion.

Built as a monorepo with packages/frontend, packages/backend, and packages/shared, the system shares TypeScript types and Zod validators across both apps, serving over 2,500 learners.

Business Challenges

The client had no digital way to deliver structured courses, grade learners, or issue certificates:

No Structured E-Learning Platform
Manual grading, no payment gating, and no certification workflow
01No centralized platform to host video lessons and course content
02Manual quiz grading was slow and error-prone
03No way to gate course access behind payment
04Learners had no way to track progress or earn certificates
05Instructors had no analytics on learner engagement
06Certificate generation was a fully manual, unbranded process

Our Role & Responsibilities

We designed and developed the full LMS end-to-end — React SPA, Node.js API, quiz engine, payment gating, and certificate service.

React 18 + Vite SPA — course catalog, video player & quiz engine
Node.js + Express REST API with JWT role-based auth
Video lesson streaming with progress tracking
Auto-graded quiz engine with instant feedback
Stripe payment-gated course enrollment
Automated certificate generation via Puppeteer PDF
Instructor analytics dashboard with React Query + Chart.js
