The Happy Child

overview

In collaboration with the project manager, I led the design and development of The Happy Child — a free mobile app offering parents research-based tips to raise well-adjusted children. I built the app from the ground up for a smooth cross-platform experience on iOS and Android, with Firebase/Firestore for backend management and Cloud Functions automating push notifications based on user interactions.

key features

• Feature-rich MVP giving parents access to curated research and parenting tips in a friendly interface.
• Real-time notifications via Firebase Cloud Functions, triggered by database events, to keep parents engaged.
• Seamless cross-platform experience deployed to both Google Play and the App Store.

what I did

• Gathered and clarified requirements with the project manager to align with the app's educational goals.
• Built the app on the Ionic framework for robust iOS and Android performance.
