Experience

Refrigerator

An Angular and Ionic mobile app to scan and upload grocery receipts from any supermarket. The mobile app allows users to scan and modify purchases from supermarkets. It also notifies users about expiring items in the morning with the scheduled task. I used the Verifi service to scan receipts and extract purchased items out of it. For the back end, I used Ruby on Rails and PostgREST database, which are hosted on Azure cloud services with Docker images.

Wellness App

https://www.fitterfly.com/wellness-app
A mobile app that bridged a gap between an end user and an expert team. The app provided a convenient way of sharing nutrition data and health reports. Users can select a health program and pay through the app. They can even access limited features of this app without paying.

Scan-It

https://github.com/Kunj-Choksi/scan-it
A mobile application to capture, scan, and create PDF documents. I used Ionic with Capacitor to use core functions such as the camera and storage. I used Angular with the Ionic library to make a cross-platform mobile app. This app can capture multiple images and allows users to merge and export them as PDFs and share or save them to the device.

Daily Expense Management App

https://github.com/Kunj-Choksi/MoneySheet
Developed a daily expense management app. You can add your daily expenses in one tap. This app comes with access from a variety of local stores in Canada. It allows users to add amounts for any specific day. Users can check weekly and monthly spending together with a unique store expense analysis with different graphs.

I used Google+ Authentication to save data for each user. The hybrid mobile app is made with React Native and Ruby On Rails (RoR).
