A cross-platform mobile application that bridges students and companies through streamlined internship discovery, application tracking, and real-time communication — built with React Native, TypeScript, and Supabase.
InternConnect is a capstone senior project developed by me at Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd University to solve a critical pain point:
Students struggle to find relevant internships, while companies lack efficient ways to discover and evaluate talent.
It is a secure, role-based platform that offers:
- ✅ Smart internship discovery (search + filters by role, location, duration, pay)
- ✅ End-to-end application tracking
- ✅ Real-time notifications (application updates, interview scheduling)
- ✅ Profile portfolios for students + company dashboards
- ✅ Interview scheduling (in-person or virtual with RSVP & content sharing)
Used by students and companies alike, InternConnect reduces manual effort by >60% and creates a transparent, modern internship pipeline.
