Demeter

A mobile app designed to help users manage the contents of their refrigerator and food storage areas effectively. Demeter simplifies inventory tracking and ensures no food goes to waste by notifying users of expiration dates and offering additional features to optimize food management.

Technologies Used

React Native

The frontend UI was built with React Native

Redux

Majority of the state management was implemented using Redux

NFC Tags

Used as tags for tupperware/food containers, the user could look up, add, and remove food items using native NFC integration.

SDSU Social Venture Challenge

This app was built to compete in the 2024 SDSU Social Venture Challenge, a campus hosted competition to build products that would help solve aspects of food insecurity.

Working in a group with two other people, I was in charge of building the app itself.

We were selected as a semifinalist and were invited to join the Lavin Entrepreneurship Center (the on-campus startup incubator).

What I learned

This project was the first time I had really gone into depth with Redux. Learning how to handle state without having to pass props between components was extremely useful and made my code much cleaner

This was also the first time I had created anything that integrated native tools. Integrating NFC opened up so many new possibilities for applications I could build in the future.
