We are thrilled to present an exciting opportunity for talented students to contribute to our innovative project, UniReceipt MVP!
The main goal for the project is Backend development for our first version of the UniReceipt application, which automatically stocks receipts and categorizes user expenses. The application should be easily accessible and compatible with iOS and Android systems. It will serve as our MVP (minimum viable product) which will be presented to future investors and used to gather user feedback to develop our full application.
We want students to not only understand the significance of their contributions but also feel confident that the project is manageable within a realistic timeframe of 60 hours, spread over 2-8 weeks. This project serves as a base for future development!
This will involve several different steps for the learners, including:
- Understanding the company's mission and objectives.
- Back-end development for our application to ensure smooth receipt processing and categorization, secured user authentication, and optimal user data management.
- Testing the strategies for reliability and efficiency.
- Implementing security measures to protect user data.
Students will work in a team and will acquire important collaboration skills throughout the project.
During this project, students will work as a team to develop our first UniReceipt application. They will collaborate with our frontend development team and will have the necessary support to ensure a smooth process.
At Finances UniReceipt Inc., eco-responsibility is part of our core values. We promote approaches to a more sustainable mobile app development and students will need to familiarize themselves with energy-reducing strategies as part of this project.
By the end of the project, learners should complete the following tasks:
- Setting up a strong backend architecture.
- Developing a functional processing system for automatically stocking receipts and categorizing expenses.
- Testing results demonstrating the reliability and efficiency of the application.
- Implemented security measures to protect user data.
- Collaborating with a front-end development team to ensure smooth application development.
Final deliverables should include:
- A written report explaining the development process, obstacles encountered, and final outcomes.
- A presentation on the backend architecture and integration in our developed application.
