Mechanical Festival 2025
A full stack event platform combining public program information with authentication, participant registration, team workflows, and administrative tooling.
01Context
The engineering problem
Bring promotion, participant onboarding, competition registration, and organizer operations into one coherent experience for a public engineering event.
Built a typed Next.js application with authenticated participant flows, relational data, managed media, and organizer tooling for the competition lifecycle.
A deployed platform that serves both the public event presence and the operational workflows behind registration and team management.
