Earworm

Lead Fullstack Engineer | React, JavaScript, Bootstrap, Firebase, HTML

Earworm is a social web app that was made as a part of my senior capstone project along with 3 peers. We designed the app with the idea of connecting people via music taste, sex, age and location. I was in charge of connecting firebase and storing user information, such as profile pictures, bio, name, email etc. I also was in charge of creating the matching functionality aswell as the authorization of users. We collaberated and tested our code via Github.

Cloud Fitness
