Fiver

Pitch: This app searches Twitter based on search parameters that the user provides it. The user then has the opportunity to fetch both a tone analysis of the tweets, and then also put in a call to a Cryptocurrency API that will fetch the current market status of that currency.

Tech Pitch: I built this project to push my boundaries in a number of areas. It was the first project where I managed the entire project scope and the architecture. It was also used to push my usage of consuming both internal and external API's further. It also was a small exercise in manually building serializers in POROs and passing that to the internal API point with only the desired information. I also took the opportunity to build out some API requests using the JavaScript fetch API.

For the future I'd like to refactor this into solely backend API endpoints and have a seperate APP that consumes those endpoints. I would also like to build rake tasks to run at certain times and then push the data to a service like Redis in order to speed up the API calls.
