Hand Me Up
A clothing re-sale application with a purpose that reduces the stigma of accepting low-cost clothing. Sellers list their clothing for sale at a rate that just covers shipping. Buyers can shop from a selection of low-cost but trendy and modern clothing. Buyers have the option to make an additional donation to a partner charity of their choice when making a purchase.
Languages
ReactJS, NodeJS, ExpressJS, MongoDB, Mongoose ODM, GraphQL, Chakra UI
Description
An interactive multi-page MERN Stack re-sale application where users exchange second hand clothing with an option to donate to a non profit organization of their choosing created and structured around Agile methodologies.
Contributions
Initially worked in setting up back end technology and database with ExpressJS and Mongoose. Once the data connected with the client side, I transitioned to assist front end styling and responsive design to meet MVP standards. I implemented a color scheme and ensured that the theme carried across the pages. I moved to assisting a group member in creating the shopping cart functionality which proved to be a much longer process than we had originally thought it to be. I implemented a global state so that the cart would function correctly before we reached the deadline.
This final group project of the UNC Bootcamp I attended showcases my ability to adapt to the needs of a project along with my ability to manage group members in assigning tasks tailored to their strengths.
