Developed a Ruby on Rails backend and a JS on React frontend, I worked on both teams. A guessing game for weather - pick a location you think will have the best match to a set of randomly generated weather statistics. Developed overall scope and design of app and delegated tasks to teammates, developed full game logic and daily cycle triggered by cron jobs, implemented email verification system and implemented API services, along with all logic such as facades to communicate with database and controllers, and implemented CI/CD through CricleCI
