Re-sip-e is a one of a kind application built over a two-week period by a full-stack team of three FE and four BE engineers. This application gives users the ability to store and save unique drink recipes, make changes to existing recipes and features fan favorites all in one. Following Agile methodology, our team held daily stand-ups, weekly retros, developed a JSON contract, and conducted user-feedback tests to get our app in front of real users and make necessary adjustments. Through Github projects, we were able to add issues and complete PR reviews for production code and implemented CircleCI for continuous integration.

Tune - Out was created for all the Hip-Hop and R&B lovers/enthusiasts in the Seattle area to find and see their favorite artists performing at venues near them. By implementing Figma, Github projects, and Notion to organize component structure, wireframe, and requirements, the application was successfully built utilizing React, React-router and React hooks for a clean and interactive user experience. This app effectively tests for user pain points and flow through use of Cypress end-to-end testing.
