Inspiration

My inspiration was talking to my friends, colleagues and my peers. I realized a lot of us are still confused and feeling lost with our careers, especially those who are working in Tech or wanting to pivot into Tech. I wanted to help other people who have felt overwhelmed, anxious and scared of making the wrong choice.

What it does

This app is a Quiz App and allows users to register, login and answer the Tech Check Quiz. Based on the user's answers, the application calculates what is the best suited Tech career for them. There are a number of choices; Frontend Developer, Backend Developer, UI/UX, Project Manager.

How we built it

This application uses AWS as the back-end and ReactJS and NodeJS for the Frontend. For the backend, it uses S3, DynamoDB, AWS Lambda and API Gateway. For ReactJS Frontend, hooks we used include UseEffect, UseState, UseRef, UseNavigate.

Challenges we ran into

The challenging part was integrating the API we created on AWS to the Frontend React application, I was getting an undefined error for props.history.push() code. Fortunately, I was able to figure out the source of the error and fix it.

What we learned

A lot of new technical skills! ReactJs hooks, AWS API Gateway

What's next for Tech Check: Discover Your Ideal Tech Career Path

There's still a lot more work to develop the quiz to make sure it's truly personalised and could give accurate results!
