Towaf — Team Lead
I'm Towaf from Queens, New York. I'm a rising junior at Thomas Edison CTE HS with a passion for Computer Science, where I'm currently learning Python!
Responsibilites
As the Team Leader for iAmsterdam I facilitated the development and progression of the team by handing out roles for my team members to follow and lead them by example.
Achievements
I led the development of MedPocket into a functional app demo using Figma Prototypes, which involved managing frames, objects, variables, and prototyping. With these tools, I developed a professional mockup app that can be programmed into a downloadable app.
Struggles
During the development of MedPocket, it was time-consuming to manage variables to change the languages. However, through teamwork and hard work, we developed an accesible app to users who speak Bengali and Spanish like our team while also catering to other cultures by incorporating a Mandarin language option.
