Agoriai
An anonymous student career network built in 36 hours at TartanHacks 2026: a React 19 client, a 36-endpoint Bun/Elysia REST API over a 13-table PostgreSQL schema, and privacy controls enforced at the server boundary.
Role
Full-stack engineer and product designer
Challenge
What had to be solved
Career networks are useful only when students can discover relevant peers without exposing private identity or academic context. The system needed to preserve anonymity while still supporting search, discussion, and relationship exploration.
Approach
How I built it
- Enforced four identity-visibility tiers on the server rather than trusting the client.
- Modeled student-company relationships as weighted edges and rendered them through a D3 force-directed graph.
- Normalized leetspeak and applied fuzzy matching before moderation decisions.
Outcomes
What changed
- ~10K relationship signals
- ~2K weighted edges
- Evasion-resistant moderation
