AP Work
Trimester Two
- I did the backend for my project last trimester. I worked collaboratively with Aliya since our features worked together. I wrote the API and database code for our leaderboard and the frontend GET and POST requests for the password game. Our team follwed a manifesto and SCRUM process to ensure the projects success.
Ended with 94%+ Tri 2
