OVERVIEW

Career advice is scattered: courses in one place, job requirements in another, generic tips everywhere. No.ed asks what interests you, which role fits, what you already know, and what to learn next. Then it answers with a path you can see.

WHAT I OWNED

  • Proposed No.ed for Code4Change.
  • Designed the flow from interests to roadmap.
  • Designed the visual system.
  • Designed the six-card roadmap board.

THE PATH

Four tags, a role and a resume or GitHub link become a six-topic roadmap. Finish all six and it's job time.

MAKING GUIDANCE VISIBLE

Lime, purple and black, custom graphics and a six-card board, so the roadmap reads as next steps, not a wall of generated text.

No.ed's roadmap board, rebuilt with an example Data Engineer path: six topic cards on black, each with a scribbled X to mark it done, and a red tile reading To Unlock: 0/6 Completed.
The original No.ed tag picker: fifteen interests in a five-by-three grid beneath a lime Four heading.
The original No.ed role screen: Cloud AI/ML, MLOps, DevOps and Data Engineer around the geometric No.ed mark.

WHO BUILT IT

The team built the backend, the resume parser, the roadmap agent and vector search.

Team Espanys: Ali Rashid, Harsh Kumar Sinha, Jahnavi Majumder and me.

WHERE IT STANDS

The design challenge was to turn uncertain career advice into a sequence of small, clear decisions.

Event
Code4Change hackathon, 2025.
Result
Team Espanys finished among the top five teams.
Demo
The final demo worked end to end.
Today
The code has drifted since. It doesn't run as it did.
