In 2018, inspired by frustrations with existing social media platforms, I co-created a community-focused app that prioritizes user engagement through local event discovery, leveraging advanced technologies like Flutter and AWS to ensure a seamless and scalable experience, culminating in a successful launch after six years of development and dedication.
Flutter for frontend, AWS for backend (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Cognito).
