Project Description:
We are team HyperDev, and we were tasked to design and develop the Indigenous-Bridge iOS mobile platform to allow users to share ideas and get information about the North Bay community. This application will be used by the North Bay Indigenous Friendship Center (NBIFC), a non-profit organization, to provide various services and opportunities to indigenous people.
This application contains features like discussion forums, local events, community news, and job opportunities. In addition, this app offers help to find housing and organization details in the North Bay area. It serves as a digital network between the new residence and the community. It is a social app to connect indigenous youth coming to North Bay from other communities. Along with the app, we also created an admin dashboard to allow Admin users to manage the application’s data.
Our team conducted user research to understand indigenous people’s needs moving to North Bay in this project. We had excellent communication with the client, who presented clear business objectives and showed us lots of support although being non-technical. During technology research and developing the mobile application, we learned more about Amazon Web Services (AWS) and implemented the solution to handle and store the data. As a team, we appreciated the opportunity to work effectively together and gained professional experience by creating a practical mobile solution from scratch for an actual client.
Short Description:
