# Margdarshak — Bilingual Career Guidance App

I built a bilingual (Hindi/English) career guidance Android app with a 4-service Node.js backend for Smart India Hackathon.

**Stack:** Kotlin, Android SDK, Node.js, Express  
**Date:** 2025  

## The Honest Part

I don't have git history yet, and my docs overclaimed — '100% complete' and 'production-ready' — while my email/password login path still uses a hardcoded dummy token and 3 of 7 planned services were never implemented. I'm reframing the copy honestly before I feature this.

## Highlights

- Bilingual Hindi/English career guidance for Indian students
- 4-service Node.js microservices backend
