CHALLENGE

During App Academy's curriculum, our team chose to push beyond standard requirements by building with TypeScript instead of JavaScript. This meant learning a new language while simultaneously developing a complex music streaming platform and managing team dynamics.

SOLUTION

We created a persistent media player with background state management, full CRUD capabilities and AWS backend, ensuring uninterrupted playback across navigation—all while maintaining strict type safety and modern best practices. 

Key Achievements:
    - Led product design and frontend architecture
    - Built responsive UI with modern React patterns
    - Implemented persistent media player
    - Developed real-time search filtering
    - Created RESTful API for playlist management
