Meet App

Meet Up is a serverless, progressive web application (PWA) built with React that integrates with the Google Calendar API to fetch and display upcoming events. The application follows Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices and can be used offline, making it accessible anywhere, anytime.\ This project showcases advanced React development, serverless architecture using AWS Lambda, OAuth2 authentication flow, and PWA features including offline functionality and responsive design. The application demonstrates modern web development practices and cloud-based solutions.

• AWS Lambda
• Calendar API
• Javascript
• React

This application was developed as part of the Full Stack Web Development course at CareerFoundry. Under the expert guidance of a Senior Developer Mentor for overall strategy and a dedicated Tutor for in-depth technical advice, the project was designed to encapsulate best practices and advanced methodologies in modern web development.

Delivered a polished, production-ready React single-page application that leverages Recharts for rich data visualizations and the Google Calendar API with OAuth-based Google Authentication for secure user sign-in. It empowers tech enthusiasts explore upcoming events in any city-filtering by city and category. By fetching real-time calendar entries, the app renders interactive charts that surface event counts. With responsive design and performance tuning, Meet delivers a seamless, engaging experience on desktop and mobile alike.

I gained a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted elements that form a complete applicationÔÇöfrom the foundational planning and design phases to the technical nuances of assembling each component. This project has significantly bolstered my confidence and competence as a Full Stack Developer.
