Center for Service and Leadership Student Portal and Database
🙤 In the early summer of 2019, I and four other CSCII students at UWT were approached with an internship opportunity by the university's community service department.
Students could log community service hours with approved organizations in exchange for credits and a medal of recognition. Up until then, students had done this through a poorly-implemented Google Form; we were asked to build a dedicated website.
Over the next five months, we operated together as a team to build a web app from scratch in a self imposed quasi-Scrum environment. It was an incredible learning experience.
We completed the product and met all of our core requirements. When we presented it to him, the department head was deeply pleased with what we delivered.
It was all for naught however: within a week of our finishing the portal, the university reduced the funding of the community service department by more than half. The head was forced to quit on account of his pay cut and his replacement was uninterested in our work.
The code still sits on the UWT servers to this day, unused and partially gutted. I could not secure a copy of my work, so all I have to show for that summer are these screenshots.
