Chat App

A group project in which we developed a browser-based chat application for private messaging

My role in project: Backend developer

Technologies I worked with: Java with Spring Framework, MariaDB

Description:

Our Software Engineering course group wanted to do a web development project. We decided to create a chat application where users can sign up and log in, search for other users and have private conversations with them.

My contribution:

• I made major contributions into the application backend development, and improved information security with SHA-256 hashing to encrypt user passwords.

Results:

• The group was able to come up with a functioning application with the planned main functionalities: sign up, log in, user search and private messaging.

• The backend code I worked on is in GitHub, with permission from other group members.
