PROJECTS

PARALEL is a web app that helps social-service organizations maintain an efficient case-management system while improving staff connectivity and communication. Users are able to create case and staff profiles for organizations in various roles. Staff are able to interact with one another with built-in news feed, calendars, and maps. PARALEL was built using Ruby on Rails on the back end, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML on the front end, and leveraging internal and Google Maps APIs.
