    paper Digital Mall Platform

    Recreated an in-store mall shopping experience through an online platform by combining React, Express.js, and Node.js to create real-time updates and modifications for an interactive “Reddit” style web forum.

    It interacts with a complex denormalized NoSQL Firebase database to map store inventory based on location, size, color, brand, and more.

    I conducted face-to-face market research with store managers and employees in 11 stores in the downtown Toronto area.
