Problem:

The pandemic of COVID-19 brought social distancing into our daily lives, and simple tasks like grocery shopping or going to a fitness centre is now more complicated. With the occupancy limit 50 people in any facility, people had to start lining up to comply with the new social distancing regulations.

Solution:

To create an online platform for customers to virtually queue up for a local business, and store managers to manage the amount of people in their facility.

My Role:

I managed the group of 4 including myself to completing this project in four 1-week sprints, using scrum to fulfill our client's request every sprint. I was a full-stack developer. For the back-end, I was implementing a REST API on Firebase Functions and created data schemas for our NoSQL database Firestore. In the front-end, I implemented a React client that utilizes our REST API to create, read, write, and delete data in our Firestore, and used Material-UI to create a simple user interface.
