A web app created for the Peruvian community. It allows people to register events that users can approve or reject so only the best ones will be available. It allows users to quickly search for any Peruvian personality (e.g., politician) and locate all the events (good or bad) where they were involved.

WORK DONE
• Created the web app using Angular and Bootstrap. The web app was deployed in AWS S3 and is currently available in the domain Recuerda.pe.
• Developed the back-end system using the Node.js and Koa frameworks, which integrates with different APIs such as AWS S3, Google APIs, and email notifications. It allows clients to consume resources through a REST API with Redis authentication and AWS RDS storage.
• Configured cloud resources such as AWS EC2 for the back end deployment (pm2 + nginx), AWS S3 as a web server, AWS CloudFront, AWS Route 53, AWS RDS, and AWS ACM. The architecture design was realized by balancing future scalability and costs.
• Designed and made decisions on the whole flow the user will go through when using the web app.
• Configured the Google Business Suite to allow the project to receive and send emails using the domain @recuerda.pe.
