Connexion is a photo sharing social media web app. Built by Kanchan Sharma, Juyean Lee, Lishitha Karnati, and Teal Larson.

We built all aspects of this application, from the databases to the APIs, from the ground up. Features include responsive design, user profiles, media upload and media import, JWTToken authentication, password encryption, image hosting via Cloudinary, like/comment/follow functionality, and more. Data is passed between components utilizing Redux store.
