About PurdueRanked

A student-built platform for ranking and comparing CS students through community-driven voting.

The Project

PurdueRanked uses an ELO rating system to rank Computer Science students based on head-to-head comparisons. The platform showcases student profiles with their experiences, education, and achievements.

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, this project demonstrates modern web development practices and interactive user interfaces.
