Some Projects I Built:

1. Chowster:

• Final Project that finds which food truck is in the area. (Uses dummy data)
• Uses Google Maps to place the trucks on the maps and are displayed if the truck is "on site". There are 2 separate user interactions (Driver and Customer):
• I. The driver will upload their truck's information (logo, menu and location) and the truck will show up on the map if it is "on site".
• II. The customer can rate trucks, favorite the truck, and leave comments on the truck's page.
• III. Drivers cannot rate other trucks to keep the ratings from being skewed because of competition.

2. Iron Bank

• A banking application clone that allows the user to withdraw, deposit, or transfer money to another user. (Uses dummy data)
• All user information is secured and cannot be accessed by another user.
• Keeps track of all transactions done by the user.

3. URLShortener

• A Bitly clone that takes in any web address and shortens it with random characters.
• You can access the real page by clicking on the hyperlink of the new URL.
• Keeps a count of how many times the new URL was selected and used.
• A user can set their shortened URL to be shown to all users or just themselves.
