Simulation of Handshake (joinhandshake.com) Using GraphQL

In this project I have tried to replicate the Handshake (joinhandshake.com) where the services offered by the Handshake for student and company are achieved using GraphQL(Data query and manipulation language).

Note: This project was mainly focused on GraphQL implementation, so I did not spend much time on Client Interfaces.
For projects with attractive, intuitive and user-focused client interfaces, please visit AmazonReplica.
