ALTURA: a marketplace for private jets

Role: Fullstack web app development, UX research and UI design

Technology: Ruby on Rails, Devise gem for user authentication, PostgreSQL, Javascript, Geocoding & API calls, Heroku, Figma, Github

Lesson Learned: Focus on the features that have the most impact and build them well, and never forget the impact of good design

Highlights:

1

I collaborated on this project with three developers. We split the work by user stories that we determined were the highest value to our target market. The right is a dashboard I created as a visualization of booking and user data.

2

The apps functionality is a two-sided marketplace: both listing a plane to rent and booking a plane. Users are able to rent jets listed by other users on the app.

3

We implemented a multisearch feature that accounts for typos and associations.

4

We integrated with Mapbox API to show geolocations of plane listings and used Javascript for implementation.
