Overview
Mobile application that serves as a proof of concept for IOTO international. Allows users to view political data on their devices and keep up to date on their favorite candidates. This project was an Industry Sponsored Student Project (ISSP), which are given to students to finish as their term project. The students work with the client and have regular meetings to make sure that the deliverable is on track and is close to the clients requirements. The project teaches students to work with the Agile Methodology as they progress through the weeks with their project.
My role on this team was of a full-stack developer, i was involved with the front-end as well as back-end development for this project for our client. I created front-end pages for selecting political topics and selecting candidates based on the region and topics selected. I also designed the homepage that would render news based on the political topics selected. I also worked with user registration and saved those users in our Firebase database for our back-end.
