EduScale
A learning platform for engineering students, built and run by one engineer. Competitive coding battles, structured roadmaps, and coding challenges in one place — a real product, still early, with its scale stated honestly.
EduScale started from a frustration I had as a student and then saw again as an engineer: universities teach theory, and companies hire for practical skill. The distance between the two is where most graduates lose time.
So I built something that works less like a tutorial and more like a proving ground: roadmaps you actually progress through, real-time battles against another person, and challenges that grade your code. It is one person's project, not a company, and it is still growing.
Every feature is tested against one question: does this make the person using it more hirable?
The principles behind every decision in the codebase.
I built this to close the gap between what a degree teaches and what a first engineering job asks for.
Practice sticks when there is someone on the other side. Battles are head-to-head, and roadmaps carry comments from the people walking them.
Timed, scored, live. The Battle Zone is closer to an interview than a tutorial is, and that is the point.
Structured roadmaps mapped to what the industry actually hires for, so you spend your time on the skills that matter.
I'm Shailesh Chaudhari, a backend engineer. I design, build, deploy and maintain EduScale myself — the Next.js frontend, the Express and Socket.io backend, the Postgres schema and the Redis coordination underneath the battles. The source is public.
