OVERVIEW
As a junior in JumboCode, I was able to work as the sole designer of the team to design a brand new web application for Animal Aid at Tufts. Animal Aid, part of the community service organization Leonard Carmichael Society, aims to pair volunteers with dogs in the nearby Medford area to walk on a weekly basis.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Currently, Animal Aid matches members of the group as walkers with dogs manually, which takes many hours. After members select their prefered dogs to walk and their availability during the week, the board members go through each of the students' preferences to match the walkers with the dogs.
SOLUTION
A mobile-friendly web app that allows automatic matching between the walkers and the dogs using a custom matching algorithm.
