An app to make sharing calendars easier
Calendshare is a simple web application for syncing up schedules in a week when trying to find time for something. It features a guest account system (accounts are ethereal and only exist per calendar) and seamless user interface that is responsively designed. The calendar can represent all days, weekdays, or weekends, with all hours or business hours displayed. Users have the ability to add/remove availability and view how their availability syncs up with each other. Learn more.

Starting my journey with the U.P. Lions
In May 2021, I was interviewed and brought in by their outgoing web developer. At the time, the [Childhood Cancer Program](https://uplionsserve.org/cc) portion of the website was the only available content to view. Since then, I have worked to design critical branding, develop and launch the [Defense Against Diabetes](https://uplionsserve.org/dad) portion of the website alongside the launch menu, migrate the server backend, and integrate the CC Program with [Tour Da Yoop, Eh's](./tour-da-yoop-eh) web presence.
