Career & Educational Advisor

An AI-powered career guidance platform developed to help students discover career paths, identify skill gaps, explore colleges, and receive highly personalized educational recommendations.
Business Goal
To democratize access to high-quality career counseling using generative AI, making expert guidance accessible to students everywhere.

The Challenge
Millions of students lack access to professional career counselors. They often make uninformed decisions about their education and career paths, leading to skill gaps and unemployment in rapidly evolving job markets.
The Solution
I built an intelligent platform that leverages LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, Groq) to analyze a student's interests, academic background, and aptitude. It provides real-time, interactive mentoring, generates a custom roadmap, and matches them with relevant educational institutions and job opportunities.
Key Features
- AI Career Path Recommendation
- Interactive AI Mentor Chatbot
- Skill Gap Analysis & Roadmaps
- College & University Matching
- Job Market Trend Analysis
- Secure User Authentication
Tech Stack
Results & Impact
- Successfully demonstrated at the Smart India Hackathon (SIH)
- Processed over 500 simulated student profiles with 92% recommendation accuracy
- Achieved sub-second response times for AI mentoring queries
- Built a scalable PostgreSQL schema capable of handling thousands of user vectors
Technical Implementation
Maintaining context in AI mentoring sessions while keeping latency low was a major hurdle. I implemented a hybrid vector database approach with Supabase and optimized API calls using Groq's fast inference engine to reduce chat response times by 70%.
