🚀 NextGen AI Interview Practice Platform

Overview

NextGen AI Interview Practice Platform is an AI-powered mock interview ecosystem designed to help students, job seekers, and professionals prepare for real-world technical interviews through intelligent, conversational practice sessions.

The platform transforms traditional interview preparation by combining Generative AI, voice-based interaction, resume intelligence, and personalized performance analytics into a seamless learning experience. Instead of static question banks, users engage in dynamic interviews where AI understands their resume, asks context-aware follow-up questions, evaluates responses, and delivers comprehensive feedback for continuous improvement.

Built on a scalable, service-oriented architecture, the platform integrates FastAPI, React, Flutter, Google Gemini, Redis, Celery, PostgreSQL, and Qdrant Vector Database to deliver responsive, intelligent, and highly personalized interview experiences.
