The most impactful project that significantly advanced my development skills was DoIT, a coding interview platform, which I completed prior to any work experience, representing my initial real-world project experience, and it stands out as a passion project due to its unconventional challenges such as creating an online IDE supporting four programming languages with server-side compilation while addressing server security concerns, integrating a payment system using Stripe with monthly and annual subscriptions and implementing card validity checks, and building a search engine with Wikipedia integration that employed NLP for extracting key nouns from sentences for information retrieval, utilizing a tech stack comprised of ReactJS, NodeJS, ExpressJS, MongoDB, Stripe API, and Ace Editor.
