Sponsors upload proposals for their projects. Students review those proposals and submit resumes and cover letters to apply. Instructors then go through all the documents and decide who should work on which project — weighing equity along the way — which is very time-consuming. The site set out to make that matching process easier to run.

Concept of operations
I worked across the stack — Ruby on Rails development, database design, web design, and information architecture — to turn the matching process into a workable tool: optimizing team formation around students’ schedules and preferences alongside skills and project needs, project review and application, group resource management, sponsorship approval, professor oversight, and an iLab resource library.
