AskIzzy is a support service for people experiencing difficulty in Australia, especially with homelessness.

Team

I was part of a team of 11 Software Engineering students. We built some extra functionality for the AskIzzy platform.

Project

The AskIzzy platform is widely used, with over 800,000 searches since it’s launch. It was exciting to work on a project that is going to help people and make a real difference.

In Semester 1 I was the Product Manager, working closely with the client to understand their needs, and ensure that the product we were building was fit for purpose.

In Semester 2 I was the Scrum Master, leading the agile delivery of the product and managing each sprint.

Tech

AskIzzy is a React application with a Node.js backend.

This was a great opportunity to improve my javascript skills and to learn React.
