backTAB simplifies how groups of friends can track and split receipt costs during extended trips, or just a night out! As bills incur, users snap a photo, upload, then select their group and associated venue (from an auto-generated dropdown), and input costs.- Led a team of three developers to build a receipts tracking app, implemented relational database backend using PostgreSQL, JWT authentication, and routed SQL queries for secure API endpoints- Enabled receipt image uploads to AWS S3 buckets and automatic suggestions for venue names and addresses extrapolated from image EXIF metadata via Google’s reverse-geocoding API
