A Serverless Approach to Modernizing a Technical Interview Coaching Platform – Tech Interview Coach

Project Overview:

MUZTech developed a high-performance online technical interview coaching platform leveraging Jekyll, Airtable, Netlify Functions, and Cal.com, designed to streamline scheduling, content delivery, and client management. The platform combines serverless architecture, fast static site generation, and seamless booking integration to provide a cost-effective and scalable solution for coaching professionals.
