Full-stack job portal MVP for Nigeria built with Next.js, TypeScript, Express, PostgreSQL, and Tailwind CSS. # CareerBridge Nigeria Global Jobs — MVP A job portal connecting Nigerian and African job seekers with verified employers. Registration, job posting, search/apply, admin moderation, employer verification, email-based auth flows, saved jobs, application tracking, and structured Nigerian location data — all production-ready, with Phase 2+ features (AI matching, job aggregation, payments) deferred by design. ## Project Overview Three roles — **Job Seeker**, **Employer**, **Admin** — each with a dedicated dashboard. Seekers search and apply to jobs with PDF resumes, track application status, and save jobs for later.
