I’m building ProofAura — real project-based internships with verified certificates

Hi everyone,

I’m a software developer, and this idea came from a real interaction.

A final-year CS student recently reached out to me because he needed a mandatory internship for his college. What stood out was that he didn’t just want a certificate he actually wanted to learn, build projects, and get real experience.

That made me look deeper into how internships are structured today.

What I found is a common pattern:

• Many internships are just dummy projects made for submission

• Some institutes even sell certificates without real work

• Students often complete requirements, but don’t actually gain practical experience

That’s the gap I’m trying to solve with ProofAura.
