Item Depot: UH Manoa Lost and Found Website

Project Overview As part of my Software Engineering I class, I worked with five other team members to create ‘Item Depot’, a lost and found management website for UH Manoa. This project involved using agile methodologies, specifically issue-driven management with GitHub, separate branches for features, and merges.

Team Collaboration and Roles Our team adopted a collaborative approach, with each member contributing to various aspects of the project. While I mainly focused on website styling, ensuring the interface was user-friendly and visually appealing, we all supported each other to maintain consistency across the site. This teamwork was essential for keeping everyone aligned with the project goals.

Technical Challenges and Learning Deploying a live website introduced us to the complexities of real-world software deployment. We implemented several features that required comprehensive backend and frontend coordination, including:

Outcome and Reflections The project was a success, resulting in a functional and aesthetically pleasing website that has been well received by the campus community. It was a rewarding experience that enhanced our understanding of both the technical and managerial aspects of software development.
