Overview
A complete backend API for an education management platform, handling students, professors, courses, assignments, and grades with role-based access control.
Problem & Constraints
Educational institutions need secure, scalable systems for managing courses and student records. The API needed to handle complex relationships (students enrolled in multiple courses, assignments with submissions, automatic grade calculations) while maintaining strict access control.
Solution
I built a comprehensive Django REST API:
• **RBAC** - Role-based access control for students, professors, and admins
• **JWT Authentication** - Secure token-based auth with refresh tokens
• **Relational Modeling** - PostgreSQL schema for courses, enrollments, assignments, submissions
• **Automated Grading** - Grade calculation and GPA tracking
• **API Documentation** - OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
Impact & Results
• Complete CRUD operations for all education entities
• Secure authentication with JWT tokens
• Automated enrollment tracking and grade calculation
• Full API documentation for frontend integration
What I'd Improve Next
• Add notification system for assignment deadlines • Implement file upload for assignment submissions • Add analytics dashboard for professor insights • Build WebSocket support for real-time updates
