Full Stack Web Developer — Data Capture and Analysis Platform (DCAP)

Our legacy in-house Food Photography analysis application needed to be revamped as it was error-prone and buggy. The DCAP arose from an increased need for collaborators to have easier access to data and help with data transfers. This personal passion project I worked on outside my work hours was made into an official PBRC project. The initial project grew in complexity to meet growing demands from a simple Django application using Django template tags to a Django Rest Framework REST API with a React JavaScript front end to an express Javascript-based API with a React with Redux front end, and finally to a production environment. The final project used a Microsoft SQL Server database on Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS.) It used Swagger to create a REST API for the front to interact with. The front end was developed using React JS and Redux JS with a Bootstrap JS component library.
