Go Big! SUSTAIN

Overview

SUSTAIN, a client from Go Big USA, needed their educational platform to become a functional, public-facing site. Previously, their content was split across WordPress and Kajabi, but the Kajabi site was never publicly accessible. I migrated their materials onto Thinkific, where I built and integrated a custom quiz solution that used AI to turn student responses into polished, professional stories. The quiz application was developed in Next.js with TypeScript, containerized for deployment, and connected seamlessly with Thinkific to provide both reliability and a cohesive user experience.

My Role and Contributions

  • Platform Launch and Migration: Transitioned the site from WordPress and Kajabi into Thinkific, making it accessible and streamlined for the first time.
  • Custom Quiz Development: Created a Next.js and TypeScript quiz system that collected student inputs and generated professional story summaries.
  • AI Integration: Embedded AI functionality to enhance the student experience by transforming raw responses into refined narratives.
  • Containerized Deployment: Hosted the quiz system in a containerized environment for consistency, scalability, and ease of maintenance.

Recognition and Results

  • Made the SUSTAIN platform publicly accessible and user-ready.
  • Delivered a professional, AI-driven learning experience that gave students personalized outputs.
  • Reduced administrative overhead by consolidating tools and simplifying content delivery.

Why This Matters

This project demonstrates my ability to take a fragmented, inaccessible system and turn it into a functional, student-ready platform. It shows both technical skill in web development and practical problem-solving in making sure clients can actually reach and serve their audiences. By combining migration, custom development, and AI integration, I help organizations move from concept to a polished, working product.
