Evently
A modern platform for organizing school events and contests, which I created to test the efficiency of AI-assisted workflows. The project integrates event planning, participant registration, and jury evaluations, showing how a solo developer can drastically accelerate development speed using AI tools without losing full control over the architecture.

Architecture & Stack
Next.js
Thanks to the App Router, I built an optimized subpage structure, lightning-fast routing, and server-rendered pages (SSR).
TypeScript
Provided full type support, allowing me to catch errors at the coding stage and providing great autocompletion for complex interfaces.
NestJS
Guaranteed a solid, organized enterprise-class architecture for my API, making it easy to create modules and manage routing.
MySQL
Responsible for relationships between user profiles, event details, sign-ups, and reviews, ensuring full data consistency.
The Engineering Challenge
Evently is an application designed to help schools easily organize contests, sports events, or trips from a single panel. This was my first project combining Next.js with NestJS, and working with such a powerful stack gave me a ton of fun. When designing the interface, I tested a custom workflow: I sketched the UI structure in Google's Stitch tool, and then with AI assistance, quickly translated the mockups into type-safe TSX components, which incredibly sped up the frontend. I wrote everything inside the Antigravity editor, which allowed me to maintain a perfect workflow and deliver new features quickly.
This project was a deliberate experiment to check the capabilities of modern AI tools in a solo developer's workflow. I used Google Stitch to plan the interface layout, and then collaborated closely with AI to rapidly generate clean, typed TSX elements based on the mockup.
Importantly – this was definitely not mindless code generation (so-called vibecoding). Throughout the process, I remained the main architect of the system. I kept full control over the structure, breaking down the complex business logic of the NestJS backend into precise micro-tasks and directing the AI to implement secure solutions that I thoroughly verified myself.
