Problem & Solution: Developed "Interna" to address the difficulty college students face when searching for internships across multiple platforms. Created a Tinder-like mobile application that makes the internship search process enjoyable and organized by allowing users to swipe through tech internship opportunities.
Key Features: Implemented user account management, internship loading and display system, intuitive swiping interface, and storage functionality for roles swiped right on. Built with multiple fragments including Login, Home, List, Settings, and About Us screens for a comprehensive user experience.
Team & Process: Collaborated in a team of 5 developers using Agile methodologies with 3 Scrum meetings weekly, pair-programming sessions, Jira task tracking, and comprehensive version control through GitHub. Utilized effective communication channels including Discord and iMessage for coordination.
Technical Challenges: Successfully resolved emergent issues, configured and interfaced with Firebase backend, addressed "looping cards" functionality, and overcame version control complexities while switching technologies due to time constraints and knowledge gaps.
