Project Ving, a multimedia web application
Responsibilities Architecture design, full stack development, pipeline development, UI/UX design, recruiting and interviewing
Summary Ving was in development hell when I started. Most of the app was broken even in a dev environment. I fixed the bugs, finished key features, and shipped the first version on AWS.
