Project Description

Looking for Gamenight was an app developed at the end of Coding Dojo as our group project. L.F.G. provides a platform to connect with local gamers in major cities, host or attend game nights, and forge new friendships. There also is functionality for users to upload and show off their game collection. L.F.G. simplifies the process of discovering and participating in enjoyable gaming experiences.

My Role

In my role as the sole developer, I took on the challenge of creating F.I.T.O.N as my first independent project outside of a bootcamp setting. It was an opportunity for me to push my skills to the next level and tackle new technologies. One of the main objectives was to integrate AJAX and APIs into the app, which allowed for real-time updates and enhanced user interactions. Also challenged myself to make validation alerts look a bit more stylized (utilized SweetAlert). This experience of taking full ownership and exploring new technologies has been invaluable, further fueling my passion for software development and inspiring me to continue pushing boundaries in future projects.
