---

Kibo is a production-grade, full-stack career acceleration engine designed to optimize the technical recruitment lifecycle for software engineers. It integrates gamification mechanics with real-time analytics to drive consistent productivity, skill acquisition, and pipeline management.

Built with performance, scalability, and type safety as core tenets, Kibo leverages a modern event-driven architecture to deliver instantaneous state synchronization across distributed clients.

⚡️ Key Components

Core Engine

• Real-time Event Bus: Powered by PostgreSQL logical replication (Supabase Realtime) to synchronize state across clients with sub-100ms latency.
• Optimistic Mutation Layer: Custom hooks and TanStack Query configuration ensure immediate UI feedback before server confirmation.
• Gamification Protocol: Rules engine handling XP distribution, streak calculations, and achievement unlocking based on user events.

Mission Control

• Analytics Dashboard: High-performance data visualization using Recharts for trend analysis (Applications, Problems Solved, XP).
• Global Leaderboard: Live ranking system with efficient pagination and tiered aggregation.
• The Garden: GitHub-style activity contribution graph for visualizing momentum and consistency.

🏗 Architecture

Kibo follows a modular, component-driven architecture emphasizing separation of concerns and type integrity.
