AppTrack

AppTrack is a full-stack web application for tracking job and internship applications in one place.

I built this project because I was tired of using spreadsheets, notes, and emails to keep track of where I applied and what stage I was in. AppTrack is meant to solve a real problem I personally have during recruiting, while also being a realistic full-stack project built outside of class.

Why I Built This

I wanted to build a project that:

• Solves a real problem I actually have
• Feels like a real product, not a class assignment
• Demonstrates full-stack development and clean project structure

This is something I plan to keep improving and using during my own job search.
