Study in Asia (studyinasia.co) is a multi-tenant SaaS platform that connects international students with universities across Asia. The platform serves 130+ institutional tenants and 270+ active users, providing program discovery, student applications, and a full partner management portal.
My Role
I was the founding full-stack engineer and primary developer for 2+ years. I built the entire platform from the ground up, including the student-facing website, partner admin portal, payment integration, and deployment pipeline.
Multi-tenant architecture supporting 130+ institutional partners. Program search with filters across countries, fields, and tuition ranges. Student application system with document upload and status tracking. Partner admin portal for managing listings, applications, and analytics. Stripe integration for subscription billing and payment processing. Role-based access control for students, partners, and platform admins. Automated email notifications for application updates. SEO-optimized pages generating organic traffic.
Scale and Impact
The platform grew from zero to 130+ tenants and 270+ users. I designed the multi-tenant data model to keep tenant data isolated while sharing the same database, keeping costs low. The Stripe billing system handles recurring subscriptions with automated invoicing. The search system handles thousands of programs with fast response times through database indexing and caching.
