Name: Robox Maker
Type: Educational Platform for 3D Robotics
Tech Stack: Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), Docker, Microservices

Robox Maker is an interactive educational platform where students can design, build, and manage their own 3D robotic models. This project combined backend microservices with real-time 3D rendering and classroom management tools to offer a scalable, immersive learning environment.

🛠️ Core Features

🧩 Modular Microservices Architecture

Each core functionality was split into isolated services using:

• Django for student/user management and class structures

• Flask for lightweight tasks such as homework submissions and grading

• FastAPI for high-performance endpoints handling assessments and analytics

 

🧠 Educational Management Suite

Robox Maker supports:

• Student registration and user roles

• Homework/task creation and tracking

• Assessment tools for both students and instructors

🧱 3D Robot Builder (Virtualization Layer)

Students can build robots in a simulated 3D environment directly from the platform.

⚙️ Key Engineering Challenges

🐳 Dockerizing a Complex Multi-Service App

To keep services modular and portable, I dockerized:

• All backend components

• The file management system for storing and retrieving student-created models

• The 3D visualization layer with dependencies isolated in its own container

[Insert docker-compose YAML snippet or container architecture diagram]

📁 Custom File Management System

I designed and implemented a file system that could:

• Accept, store, and manage user-generated 3D robot files

• Handle version control for iterative builds

• Interface seamlessly with the 3D visualization service

 

💡 What I Learned

• Gained deep hands-on experience with microservices orchestration, containerization, and service-to-service communication.

• Learned to integrate 3D visualization logic into a cloud-native architecture.

• Strengthened my knowledge in building modular, educational tools with flexible backend APIs.
