Montane Ranch

This allowed residents to stay informed about community happenings and activities in real time from any device.
On the back end, I used Ruby on Rails to develop a comprehensive suite of features that enabled residents to track, schedule, and book events, activities, and amenities within their community. This included a robust event tracking system that allowed residents to view upcoming events and RSVP, as well as a scheduling and booking system that enabled them to reserve community resources, sports facilities, and more.
