The UNC CS Portal serves as a valuable resource for students, offering a Project Marketplace to gain experience, Get Hired forum for job insights, and Study Tools for academic support in CS courses. The platform facilitates connections within the department and enhances professional growth. Utilizing web technologies like Django and PostgreSQL, the portal is user-friendly and adaptable for iOS and Android. Future enhancements include open-source possibilities, extensibility, a "Check-in" feature, and integration with the CS Club to become the central social hub for CS at UNC.
