Received $10,000+ for placing first the HackUMass V challenge to produce a mobile application to crowd source information to aid in navigation around the UMass campus. We were hired on as a dedicated team working on the refinement and further development of the application.We designed and developed a cross-platform, mobile application for iOS and Android using ReactNative to help visitors and residents of the UMass campus navigate between and within buildings, with the primary focus of providing fast, safe routes from location to location. A primary goal of the development was to make the full app ADA-compliant, so we had rigorous screenreader testing performed as part of the development process.
