+## Overview
+
+XP-System was one of the projects that introduced me to the value of web applications and product thinking.
+
+The core idea was to make school work feel more engaging by layering XP, levels, and a clearer sense of progress on top of classroom assignments.
+
+## Focus Areas
+
+- Building an interactive web application
+- Thinking about user motivation and engagement
