Overview
The system in context.
Nikita built the Asian Classics Institute course platform and CRM while completing a three-year program in classical Buddhist philosophy. The product supported the operational path from a public course catalog to enrollment, progress tracking, exams, and teacher-student messaging.
The work also created a bridge between education infrastructure and later AI research. Texts annotated during this period became part of the source-material foundation for the Dharma AI case study.
