Week 11 - 13.June.2026

Progress: Skill Matching, Advanced Discovery & Documentation Deployment

The final week refined the matching engine, expanded job discovery, and made the progress book itself deployable alongside the rest of the platform.

Matching & job discovery

Upgraded the skill-matching and job-recommendations algorithm and wired up the job-creation API.
Expanded job portal metadata, implemented advanced discovery filtering, and added an interview pipeline stage.
Embedded the job feed and detail views into the main dashboard sidebar layout.
Updated the student saved-jobs list.

Documentation deployment

Added Docker support for the progress_book (multi-stage build with mdBook, served via nginx) and updated the deployment workflow so the book is built, pushed to GHCR, and hosted alongside the backend and frontend.

Outcome

The end-to-end recruitment loop — matching, applying, employer pipeline management, offers, and acceptance — is in place, and the progress book is now a deployable service in the same CI/CD pipeline.

The closing challenge was tuning the skill-matching and recommendation algorithm so suggested jobs feel relevant, then layering on advanced discovery filtering and a new interview pipeline stage without overcomplicating the data model. A final, different kind of challenge was operational: turning the static mdBook into a deployable service — a multi-stage Docker build served by nginx and wired into the same GHCR/CI-CD pipeline as the backend and frontend.
