🎟️ Couplet
January 2024 - April 2024
Couplet is a dating app that matches users based on shared interest in local events. This allows people to connect over shared interests and experiences, rather than just superficially connecting over profile pictures. Users create profiles and then can "like" events they're interested in attending. Users can also "like" other users, and if there's a mutual match, they can chat and see events they're both interested in, making it easier to plan a first date.

👩🏻💻 Development
This app was developed for real clients as part of Generate at Northeastern, a student-led product development studio. I worked with a team of 8 other engineers, as well as a team of designers, to collaboratively build an initial version of this app.
The engineering team began by building the backend in Go, developing endpoints for user and event management. Once the designers created Figma mockups, we began building the front-end in React Native. I primarily worked on event-related functionality, building screens that show local events and allow users to react to them as shown in the screenshots above.
This was my first time working on mobile development and I learned a lot about React Native and Expo! It was also great to work alongside a team of designers and mutually provide feedback to improve our product.
