Skill Link
An AI-powered mentorship platform that intelligently connects learners with experienced developers based on skills, learning goals, and compatibility. Built to make quality mentorship accessible to everyone.
Overview
Finding a good mentor is hard. Skill Link uses AI to analyze both mentor expertise and learner needs, creating matches that lead to productive mentorship relationships. The platform handles scheduling, communication, and progress tracking.
The matching algorithm considers technical skills, learning style preferences, availability, and even personality traits to suggest mentors who are most likely to help each learner succeed.

What I Learned
Building Skill Link taught me about the complexities of matching algorithms and the importance of user feedback loops in AI systems. The initial algorithm performed well on paper but needed significant tuning based on real user satisfaction data.
I also gained experience with real-time features at scale, implementing WebSocket connections that stay reliable even with thousands of concurrent users.
