Project Overview

LMS Platform is a full-stack Learning Management System built as a monorepo with a React 18 + Vite frontend and a Node.js + Express REST API backend. It empowers educators to create and deliver courses with video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and automated certificate generation — all as a blazing-fast SPA.

The monorepo structure (packages/frontend, packages/backend, packages/shared) shares TypeScript types and validators across both apps, eliminating duplication and keeping the entire platform in sync.

Business Challenges

The institution faced fragmented tools and no unified digital learning environment:

No Centralized Learning Platform
Scattered tools causing poor engagement and zero progress visibility
01 No centralized platform to host and deliver online courses
02 Instructors had no way to track student progress or engagement
03 Manual quiz and assignment grading was slow and inconsistent
04 No automated certificate issuance upon course completion
05 Students lacked a self-service portal for lessons and materials
06 No payment gateway integration for paid course enrollment
07 Separate frontend/backend repos causing duplicated types and inconsistent API contracts

Our Role & Responsibilities

We architected and built the full monorepo from scratch — React frontend, Node.js API, and shared package — through to deployment.

React 18 SPA with Vite — component-driven course & lesson UI
Node.js + Express REST API with JWT authentication
Monorepo setup with npm workspaces & shared TypeScript types
Role-based auth guards (Admin, Instructor, Student)
Video lesson upload, HLS streaming & watch-progress tracking
Quiz builder with auto-grading via React state & Node.js API
PDF certificate generation via Node.js Puppeteer on completion
Stripe/Razorpay payment integration for paid enrollments
Development Timeline
Phase 1: Requirement Analysis
Mapped course workflows, user roles, and API contract definitions
Phase 2: Monorepo Setup
Bootstrapped npm workspaces, shared TS config, ESLint & Prettier
Phase 3: React Frontend
Built all course pages & components with Vite HMR & React Query
Phase 4: Node.js API
Designed RESTful API with Express, JWT auth & MySQL via Prisma
Phase 5: Deployment & Live
Docker-based deployment, CI/CD pipeline, SSL — launched v1.0
