Tutor platform for SenBJF Berlin

The Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family of Berlin issued a 2022 tender to develop a tutor platform, which I led to completion.

I first created a software architecture that met the requirements and can be extended with future modules. The project required open-source development under the Apache 2.0 license so other states could benefit. Development ran in agile sprints over 20 weeks, with interim results shared and iterated with external client representatives.

The user interface followed the state’s design guidelines and was built so third parties can easily adjust it.
