  Connect4G

  Sept 2018 - Jan 2019

  Full Stack Developer

  I created a social network for NYU where students list all their skills and are then given access to everyone else's information with the purpose of allowing members to easily find the exact individuals they need. The website is fully functional, allowing people to form teams and then share files, chat in real-time, and leave notes for each other. I then added all of the professors of NYU Shanghai to the website in order to allow people to anonymously leave comments rating their performance and upload any files they think future students would find useful. If you're interested in checking it out but you are not an NYU member, send me a message and I'll provide you with a username and password. Show less
