Hoogvliet is an innovative grocery shopping app that offers users a seamless and convenient shopping experience. The app's intuitive user interface built with Jetpack Compose ensures a visually appealing and smooth navigation experience. Users can explore various categories, search for specific products, and view detailed information and images for each item.

Hoogvliet leverages Hilt, a dependency injection framework, to simplify and streamline the management of dependencies within the app. This ensures a modular and maintainable codebase, promoting scalability and ease of future development. In addition to a seamless shopping experience, Hoogvliet includes features such as a user-friendly checkout process, secure payment options, and real-time tracking of orders. Users can create personalized shopping lists, save favorite products, and receive notifications for exclusive offers and discounts.

With its clean architecture and adherence to best practices, Hoogvliet demonstrates my ability to develop robust and user-centric Android applications. The app is a testament to my expertise in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Retrofit, and Hilt, showcasing my commitment to delivering high-quality and performant code.
