Volunteer Shopper Web App

A friend of mine from UC Berkeley, Tony, put together a group to work on this web app remotely during the coronavirus pandemic. His idea was to create an outlet for people at risk to request a volunteer (from a community service group) to buy them groceries so that they could minimize their contact with others while getting the products they need. The app takes in a user's information, then sends them an automated email connecting them to a volunteer in their area.

My Role: Once a user input their data, the script I wrote would extract their location from our database and find the closest available volunteer to them. It would then match the two and write them back into the database as a pair.
