Longhorn Racing Recruiting Platform.

The official recruiting platform for Longhorn Racing at UT Austin — prospects browse teams, submit per-team applications, and track decisions through their dashboard, while team captains and admin staff review applications, score candidates, and gate trial workday decisions from a unified admin console. Co-built with Dhairya Gupta on Next.js 16, Firebase, and AWS SES.

• §Per-team application pipeline: prospects pick a team at `/apply/[team]` and submit a configurable question set defined in Firestore, with applicant-side `/dashboard` tracking status across the cycle.
• §Role-gated admin console (`/admin`) for applications, teams, users, scorecards, configuration, and settings — server-side role checks across `ADMIN` and `TEAM_CAPTAIN_OB` on every action and `/api/admin/*` route.
• §Scorecard system with per-section ratings that aggregate to a candidate-level score, used to drive committing / rejecting / waitlist decisions and a `day decision gating` workflow on trial workdays.
• §Waitlist logic with day-level decision gating and email-sent tracking, so reviewers can move candidates between cohorts without double-sending or losing audit trail.
• §AWS SES transactional email pipeline with templated sends (`lib/email/`) and Google Calendar integration (`lib/google/calendar.ts`) for scheduling interviews against reviewer availability.
• §Unified public + admin navigation with light/dark mode propagated through both surfaces, mobile drawer UX on admin lists, and a fixed-header dashboard with profile/menu mutex tuned for phone-first triage.
