Scotbank is my proudest project to date, developed as part of a university class ran by JPMorgan. Our team was tasked with designing and building a functional banking interface that mimicked real-world systems, combining front-end design with robust back-end logic.
The front-end of the Scotbank project was built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with a focus on creating a clean, intuitive user interface that mimicked the experience of a real banking app. A combination of css and tailwind was used to create a sleek and user-friendly design. The frontend was able to effectively communicate to the back-end by using the handlebars framework.
The back-end was built in Java, using tools like Jooby to communicate with the frontend and Maven to handle dependencies and build the project. As well as a Server memory-based SQL database which kept hold of users details. We were also provided api's from the JPMorgan team, all from different formats, XML, JSON and CSV.
This project really helped me learn how important micro-management can be when working on large scale like this, especially when it comes to coordinating between different people and ensuring that everyone is on the same page.
Overall, Scotbank was a challenging but rewarding project that taught me a lot about full-stack development, teamwork, and the importance of user experience in software design. It was a great opportunity to apply my skills in a real-world context and learn from industry professionals.
