Problem and Context
Students often patch together planning from disconnected systems, making requirements hard to verify and long-term course sequencing fragile.
Apps/Tools
Orbit UMD
Academic planning platform for UMD students with degree audit flows, four-year plan tooling, and a stakeholder-friendly demo mode.
Role: Product-minded full-stack developer
Timeline: 2025-2026
Approach
I built a web app around real planning workflows: course lookup, requirement tracking, plan building, and profile-aware notifications, then added a polished demo mode for classroom and faculty walkthroughs.
Technical Details
SvelteKit powers responsive UI with type-safe state and route organization; Supabase handles data and auth; CI workflows enforce consistency and deployment hygiene.
Outcome
The result is a clear, explainable planning experience that turns complex degree logic into interactive visuals students and advisors can actually use.
