My role for CollegeScavs was Full Stack Developer; this included implementing frontend features with communication to the database. The creative intent for this project was to allow University of Florida students to have a place to sell and purchase common college necessities within their budget. Some features of the website include: ensuring each user is a UF student, posting and buying listings, filtering and searching for listings, and creating an account.
