Elections App

Used by & made for an Israeli Political Party. Link to Google Play

During semester break of 2018, I was honored to be asked by a political party to create this mobile application. Its goal was to deliver real-time voting status of 38k residents of our town, straight from the voting booths.

This was a solo project of mine. However, I was working closely with the campaigners in order to characterize their needs & get feedback during development.

Main Technologies & Features:

Google Cloud:

• Firebase Realtime Database (NoSQL)
• Cloud Functions
• Google Sheets API (for Node.js)

Server Side:

• Node.js
• Crashlytics
• SMS Authentication Service

Client Side:

• Android application (Java), Google Play as host
• Material Design for practical UI
• Generic API for cooperation with other political parties
• Offline working feature

Outcome

Fully independent, functional app. The app was successful in its functionality, ease of use & practicality, and was admired by the people who used it. 170+ people managed to operate it simultaneously & intensively during the day of elections: Data was live-streaming to the HQ’s large screens, filtered by criteria of choice.
