Coderise-Vaul My Final Project At Holberton School
Coderise-Vault is about a web platform that allows keeping a record of the payments that a student has made once they start working, based on a shared income agreement with an educational institution. The web application will allow you to register your personal data, information about the company where you work, the amount of monthly income you have in that company and how much your monthly payment would be. all this under the direction of an administrator who may also have a record of this information.
Many of the institutions that use this means to finance someone’s studies, find it difficult to keep a transparent record of payments and sometimes there are inconsistencies, what allows this solution is to keep a clear record for both educational institutions and students.
KillaTech was the team in charge of carrying out this first version of the project, an idea that was proposed by the company Coderise Internacional. For this project, I was in charge of the UX / UI and Frontend area. I worked on the design of the prototypes and design of the platform, additionally From the creation of the landing page. Together with my peers from the same area, we reached an agreement on the definition of the colors for the brand and also I made the design for the advertising of the product on social networks.
Personally, I was in charge of providing a pleasant design for the user and facilitating the use of a calculator that allows the visitor to the page to make an approximate calculation of how much their monthly payments could be. Also add a page only for the terms and conditions, so the user would have a space only dedicated to that topic, and so he can be clear with any questions he may have.
We decided to work on this project because of the great value we can add to future students who for one reason or another do not have sufficient financial resources to finance a formal education or who may have the opportunity to study in a particular institution but do not have any With money, this financial system and with this platform they will be able to have easy access to their studies, prepare and fulfill their goals more easily, generating more opportunities for everyone and that the world is benefited with professionally trained people.
The technologies used to carry out this project were the following:
In the design of prototypes and wireframes we used Balsamiq and Figma, which were of great help to create the designs and the visual structure that the project was going to have, we chose these tools since they provide a great variety of elements that allow us to work in a professional way and it is very easy to learn to use.
On the Frontend side, we use HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, As frameworks, Vuetify, and VueJS. For the Backend, we used Python, FastApi and as a database, it was very useful to use PostgreSQL. All these technologies were selected taking into account the type of project that we were going to carry out and additionally the previous knowledge that each member had, it really was a great challenge for us because many of us did not have any prior knowledge of some of the technologies, and having a good learning curve was decided to use them.
The web app is responsive and compatible with mobile. This means users can access the project from a mobile view.
The biggest challenge at a technical level for me was the fact of working on a real project, with technology that was totally unknown to me, it was a great challenge but I took it as an opportunity to improve my academic level and my knowledge in this career, I learned that with dedication many things can be achieved and that we should not close our minds to learn new things. Anything can be learned and bear good fruit from what has been learned.
