Projects

  • Road Trip Application

    This project was built on the MEAN stack and involved extensive use of Google Maps, Google Directions, Google Places and Google Auto-complete API's. The app allows users to create accounts, create road trips and search for and populate their trip maps with directions, Points of Interest, Restaurants, Lodging and Way-points. I used Foundation for my styles and added JQuery adn JQuery UI to build out a beautiful user interface and implement awesome animations.

It uses a MySql database and a PHP backend. I developed the Admin CMS and User login/registration while my partner built out the client frontend and the product database. The application was built using source control and git. The code is on my github.
