About the Project
PopUp was born from the challenge of helping people discover and connect through local events. The project involved scoping and building a complete MVP from concept to deployment.
As the project lead, I coordinated team efforts, managed timelines, and prioritized features to deliver a functional product within tight constraints. The app leverages React for the frontend and Supabase for backend services, creating a scalable foundation for future growth.
The development process emphasized rapid iteration and user feedback, allowing us to quickly validate assumptions and refine the product based on real user needs and behaviors.
