Development of a Scalable Educational Platform to Enhance User Engagement and Growth

The client currently manages a complex architecture supporting school administration and student health monitoring, experiencing difficulties with previous offshore development teams due to miscommunication and unmet expectations. They aim to eliminate paperwork, improve assessment clarity, and increase platform adoption. Existing limitations hinder their ability to scale efficiently, with user growth plateauing at 10,000 users and a goal to reach 22,000 users, necessitating a robust, scalable, and adaptable development team and system overhaul.
