Developed using: Backend in AWS, PostgreSQL and JavaFX

This application was developed to be put onto kiosks in Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA. It contains a multitude of features that can be used by patients, staff, visitors and administrators to help streamline the process of visiting and working in a hospital.

Features included:

• A path finding service to guide patients and visitors to rooms around the hospital
• Creating and viewing requests for services such as flowers and meals
• A user based system with three levels of clearance, locking certain features behind clearance levels
• Sending out alerts to users of the program that can be configured to be sent to only certain users
• A service for booking conference rooms
• Directly manage the databases for employees, service requests, alerts and user logins

I worked as the Assistant Lead Software Engineer and Lead of Backend on a team of 10 programmers for this project. I created and maintained the databases used in development of this application which had the ability to toggle between storing the data in a local server or an AWS server. I wrote code that utilizes the DAO design pattern in order to interface with the databases, as well as all the SQL code to query them.

I worked on the backend for the service requests, creating classes and functions to store the objects selected and upload them to the database once submitted.

I also created the page for viewing and editing employee records using JavaFX. The page is only accessible to users with admin level clearance, giving them permissions to view, add, edit or delete all employee information in the databases.

I also implemented the sound effects and music into the application as well as a randomly generated joke on the home screen.
