Built and deployed the platform for the IEEE Student Branch, Department of Cyber Security — including the AI mock-interview simulator, self-hosted code execution engine, and the live proctoring system.

What was built

CODE QUEST contest platform

Mission-based contest engine with server-authoritative scoring, unlocks, coins, hints and power-ups, plus a live leaderboard over server-sent events.

Self-hosted code execution engine

Submissions are judged in throwaway Docker sandboxes with no network access and hard CPU, memory and output limits — no third-party judge API.

Live proctoring system

Camera and microphone monitoring with in-memory frames only (nothing written to disk), clipboard capture, and a server-side violation limit that terminates and auto-submits.

AI mock-interview simulator

Practice interview tooling built for the Department of Cyber Security.

Secure deployment

HTTPS with automatic certificate renewal, a single-entry reverse proxy, rate limiting, bcrypt credentials and a full audit log of organiser actions.
