Linking Loaners to Lenders

Comment

Inspiration

We were inspired by third-party loan lending platforms such as Kickstarter and Kiva. These platforms are an alternative to traditional banking options and let dreamers reach for their goals.

Features & How it works

  • Standard login & authorization features + creating new account procedures
  • Once logged in, users can access a dashboard with three sub-pages:
    1. Account information: User's unique assigned account ID, Name, Loan information and status
    2. Loan application information & applying assistance
    3. Browse loans to sponsor
  • Users are allowed to both sponsor and apply for loan sponsorships
  • On sub-page 2, users have access to a built in interest and payment calculator to assist loan calculations

How We Built It

  • front-end: HTML/CSS/JS/Bootstrap 5.0
  • back-end: SQL & Python

Challenges We ran into

  • Figuring out the best way to design the dashboard to store and display all the information required for financial services
  • Integrating the backend database with the frontend architecture through python and SQL
  • Designing the relational database in the best way to organize the account information and loan processing

Accomplishments that We're proud of

  • Utilized minimal design aesthetic to design the login information page and dashboard
  • Connecting our database to the front-end section of the website

What I learned

  • UI/UX Optimization
  • Bootstrap Integration
  • Using Python & JS to connect to a backend database
  • Data warehousing, cleaning, and analysis
