ImRecruitable (2018 – 2020), Founding development & product delivery

From idea to recruiting platform.

The initial college recruiting application: athlete profiles, college discovery, and tools for coaches.

The challenge

The initial application needed to support distinct athlete and coach experiences while bringing profiles, search, subscriptions, and administrative workflows into one product.

What I built

Start with the core product

I built the initial application from scratch with React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB, delivering athlete profiles, college search, and coach recruiting tools.

Build the supporting workflows

I implemented athlete and coach authentication, Stripe subscriptions, profile media uploads, and administrative approval workflows.

Own delivery across the stack

As founding developer, I worked across the frontend and backend to build and launch the initial recruiting application.

The outcome

Built and launched the initial application, including authentication, subscriptions, media, and administration.

This case study covers the original application I built between 2018 and 2020. Bringing discovery, identity, subscriptions, and administration together gave athletes and coaches a working product and gave me ownership of delivery across the stack.
