Scope

Create an app that enables users to find their political representatives based on their area of residence.

Process

Came up with the concept as part of a project at General Assembly. Tasked with creating a fullstack application the uses a Google API. I created high- fidelity designs and then researched how to programmatically find a users representatives based on a users location of residence.

Solution

The brightly themed Check Your Rep app was deemed a success. We ingested the Google Civics API, a comprehensive list of every American states person. By adding a few forEach loops and a quick search input,we are able to return the list of results based on user ZIP code input.
