Modular Migration + Vertical Slices

We’ll migrate/extend the legacy app feature-by-feature. Interns ship “vertical slices” (UI + API + DB) behind feature flags, focusing on correctness, accessibility, and observability.

Core Framework

• Frontend: React + TypeScript, Tailwind/shadcn UI, modern form libs.
• Backend: Node/Express (or Next.js routes), Prisma + PostgreSQL for data, transactional email (e.g., SendGrid), and Stripe basics for subscriptions.
• Infra & Delivery: Vercel/Cloudflare (middleware for rate-limits, Open Graph rendering, etc.).
• Quality: Jest/React Testing Library, Playwright (happy paths), ESLint/Prettier, simple CI.

Key Objectives

• Establish a modern, typed front-end architecture for one section (Events, Highlights, Deals, or Dashboard).
• Integrate with existing schemas and approval flows (admin → pending/approved/rejected).
• Deliver polished UX with consistent components, empty-states, and error handling.
• Instrument engagement analytics and basic audit logs for your slice.

Candidate feature tracks (choose one vertical slice)

• Events: create/edit; approval; RSVP API + UI; calendar links; shareable email template; Open Graph previews for links; filters (webinar/hybrid/in-person).
• Deal Room: card display logic; investor-gated visibility from questionnaire; “More Info” flow (emails to investor + sponsor/broker, confirmation); analytics hooks.
• Highlights (Posts): admin moderation (approve/edit/delete) with notification emails; visibility targeting by role; “create on behalf of” (admin).
• Dashboards: broker/sponsor analytics (view → click → RSVP funnel); sector/allocator breakdowns; sponsor profile panel (logo/video upload); invite-a-colleague flow.
• Platform polish: rich link previews (Open Graph tags + branded image wrapper), universal sign-up deep link routing, audit log events, and email style system.

Expected Outcomes

• Stack fluency: learners can navigate React/TypeScript and Prisma basics within 2 weeks (guided docs, pairing, code walkthroughs).
• Code contribution by Week 4: a PR that adds a working component + API + tests for their chosen slice.
• Demo-able feature: merged behind a flag with acceptance criteria met and telemetry wired.

Expected Deliverables (pick 1–2, scoped to team size)

• Landing page section (hero + nav) or Login/Sign-up flow (with “Don’t have an account? Sign Up”).
• Questionnaire module (typed schema, client/server validation, persistence).
• Events MVP: Create Event → Admin Approval → RSVP logging → confirmation email with ICS/Google links → filter by format (webinar/hybrid/in-person).
• Deal Room MVP: investor-gated visibility from questionnaire; More Info trigger → three emails (investor, sponsor/broker, investor confirmation).
• Highlights Admin: moderation table; approve/reject with reason codes; edit/delete; notification emails; create on behalf of user (MVP+).
• Share & OG: email share template with sector/allocator/industry boilerplate + Open Graph metadata and branded fallback images for external link previews.
• Dashboards: broker/sponsor analytics (funnel; sector/allocator breakdown); sponsor profile (logo/video uploads); Invite a Colleague flow + email.
• Audit Log: append-only table + helpers; log create/update/approve/reject/RSVP/more-info; simple admin readout.

Each deliverable will include

• Clear AC (Given/When/Then) and design references.
• Starter components and API stubs.
• Code reviews, weekly demos, and a short tech note (tradeoffs, tests, telemetry).

Learning Experience

• Focused on modern web dev with React/TS and a typed backend.
• “Take-home” mini-tickets early → team-owned vertical slice by mid-project.
• Exposure to product specs, tickets, PRs, test plans, and basic SRE hygiene (rates/limits, error budgets).

Mentorship

Domain context

How private-market platforms operate (roles, approvals, confidentiality, analytics). Why engagement metrics matter to brokers/sponsors (and how we’ll surface them).

Skills & methods

Typed React patterns, form/state management, API design, Prisma schema changes, email/OG integration, analytics/eventing, basic accessibility & testing.

Hands-on support

• Pair programming & async PR reviews.
• Example branches for each slice.
• Access to design tokens, email partials, and OG templates.

Tools & resources

GitHub repo with starter code, issue templates, AC checklists, and environment samples; Loom walkthroughs; weekly office hours.

Regular meetings

• Kickoff + scope (Week 0)
• Weekly standup/demo (30–45 min)
• Midpoint design/code review
• Final demo & retro
