Project Summary

EngineerBabu designed and developed Showground, a music event discovery platform that includes native iOS and Android apps, a CodeIgniter/PHP backend, and a launch landing page. The apps include GPS features to surface local events and social login options (Facebook, Spotify, Google). Users and stakeholders praised the polished visual design and frontend fluidity; the vendor used Mantis and Basecamp for issue tracking and project coordination.

Key Challenges

Build the app from the ground up from an idea and drawings and find a qualified development firm to execute the project

Native Android mobile app

Project Solution

EngineerBabu led end-to-end development of the event discovery platform: designers turned provided wireframes into the app’s frontend and developers recommended frameworks and implemented the backend. They built native iOS (Swift) and Android (Java) apps, developed a CodeIgniter/PHP backend, created a launch landing page, and implemented social login and GPS/location features tailored to Seattle users. They used Mantis for bug tracking and Basecamp for project coordination.
