Project Overview
In my first professional role at Ishqool, I started as a junior developer working on their Learning Management System (LMS). Under the guidance of senior developers, I learned to build React components, implement APIs, and work with databases. This hands-on experience at a Bangladeshi edtech startup taught me practical web development while contributing to a platform that makes education more accessible.
