Overview

CrestMark Academy is a full-stack learning platform built around a structured backend architecture and a modern Next.js frontend.

The problem

The system required more than basic course CRUD. It needed authentication, role management, course structure, enrollments, learning progress, user profiles, reviews, notifications, certificates, and administrative workflows while remaining maintainable as the platform grows.

The solution

I designed the backend using ASP.NET Core, C#, Entity Framework Core, SQL Server, JWT authentication, and a clean layered architecture. The frontend is built with Next.js and TypeScript and communicates with the API through structured application flows.
