Bull-Mart
Built Bull-Mart, a full-stack web application using HTML/CSS, React.js, Node.js, and MongoDB, enabling USF students to buy and sell used products while managing user profiles, listings, and transactions. Designed responsive interfaces with Bootstrap, integrated Google Maps API for location-based features, and implemented JWT authentication for secure, role-based access control.
The Challenge
USF students needed a reliable platform to buy and sell used products within their community, but existing solutions lacked campus-specific features and secure user authentication. Students required a trusted marketplace with location-based listings and robust user management.
The Solution
Developed a full-stack MERN application specifically designed for USF students, featuring secure JWT authentication, location-based listings with Google Maps integration, and responsive design for optimal mobile experience. The platform enables safe peer-to-peer transactions within the university community.
