Mobile Application for Dreams, Full-stack web developer
Feb 2017 - Jan 2018- Full-stack development
The system is designed for team management and cyclist training sessions. It allows users to plan seasons, communicate with each other, organize meetings, and track the location of team members in real time.
The app was released in 2016 using React Native, and we joined in 2017. There was a lot of legacy code for us to work with, with some components reaching 1500 lines of code without any comments or explanations of functionality. We had a tight deadline of 4 weeks to clean up the codebase and get the application ready to launch. After successfully completing this task, we began working on releasing version #2 with completely new designs and features. We were responsible for developing the API, web admin, and mobile applications.
During the redesign of the application, we were short on time, so we decided to create a bundle of custom components that could be used throughout the project. We utilized Material UI as a base, as it allows us to use major components out of the box and is highly customizable, enabling us to define a high-level theme for the entire application.

Within the application, a class scheduler with an agenda and multiple users external storage with an authentication mechanism has been implemented to serve the purposes of the in-class terminal.
