01 / Context
The problem
Volunteers need a clear way to find and track opportunities, while organizations need operational tools that go beyond publishing a listing.
02 / Product
The implemented solution
VolunteerSync supports the full relationship: discovery, registration, capacity, waitlists, communications, hours, achievements, and engagement review.
03 / System
Architecture, in plain language
A modular Go backend separates community domains and integrates PostgreSQL, Redis, authentication, and rate limiting. A Next.js client provides protected, role-specific workflows.
04 / Judgment
Important decisions
- Designed volunteer and organizer journeys separately while sharing one domain model.
- Kept module boundaries explicit to reduce coupling as workflows expand.
- Added session recovery and end-to-end coverage around high-value flows.
05 / Boundaries
Limitations and next work
Public repository and deployment links require a final security and privacy review before publication.
06 / Implementation
