Lessons Learned
- Through building Holistic Wellbeing, I learned how to design a full-stack application with multiple user roles, including users and instructors, and manage permissions and workflows across them.
- I gained practical experience integrating frontend and backend components, handling course data, implementing secure purchases via Stripe, and building real-time dashboards for instructors, which reinforced my understanding of end-to-end project flow.
- Working with Cloudinary for video uploading and streaming taught me how to incorporate external services efficiently, and how to structure media-heavy applications for real-world use.
- Overall, this project strengthened my ability to build, integrate, and present complete full-stack solutions, highlighting both technical and problem-solving skills.
