The sports recruitment landscape is often fragmented, with athlete talent hidden across siloed platforms and coaches lacking a centralized, social-first environment to discover and communicate with prospects.

Engineered a high-performance Next.js 15 platform that integrates social feed dynamics with specialized recruitment workflows. Built a role-based architecture (Athlete vs. Coach) featuring deep profile metadata, a robust social graph, and secure messaging capabilities.

• →Role-specific onboarding for Athletes (metrics/availability) and Coaches (institution/division)
• →High-fidelity Profile System with media uploads and rich athletic metadata
• →Bidirectional Social Graph supporting follow/follower relationships and discovery
• →Integrated Direct Messaging for secure coach-athlete communication
• →OAuth 2.0 and OTP-verified authentication flows with session persistence
• →Advanced Search and Notification modules for talent discovery and engagement

• ◆Feature-oriented directory structure for independent module scaling
• ◆Server-side rendering (SSR) for SEO-optimized athlete and post pages
• ◆Stateful orchestration layer using custom hooks and React Query mutations
• ◆Centralized Auth Store for cross-application identity persistence
• ◆Modular API layer with strict TypeScript interface enforcement

• →Architecting a scalable social graph to handle high-concurrency follow/unfollow interactions
• →Managing complex, role-based UI states and conditional onboarding flows
• →Optimizing image processing and delivery for high-resolution athlete media and banners
