The College Fair is a platform for users to explore careers, possible majors, and schools. Users can create a personal profile and let schools know if the user is interested by saving them to the user's list for further research.

The task was to renew and revamp the look and feel of the app and add new features to the platform. Features include: searching through a huge database of colleges and careers with high performance, Complex College profile with visual graphs, personal assistant chatbot, analytics, and crash reporting. Used Firebase and CircleCI.
