Project: Janani Mamata Vahan

• Role: Software Engineer
• Time Period: Nov 2022 - Feb 2023
• Technologies: Java 8, Spring Boot, Spring JDBC, PostgreSQL, Micro Services, Hibernate, JSP, JavaScript, jQuery, Google Map API, Firebase Cloud Messaging

Project Details: As a Software Developer for the Janani Mamata Vahan project, I played a pivotal role in delivering innovative solutions to meet client requirements and enhance the overall system functionality, significantly improving the user experience. This project focused on real-time tracking, Firebase token integration, Google Map API utilization, and efficient notification management, resulting in the following key features.

Real-Time Tracking: We introduced a robust real-time tracking system that enabled users to monitor the movement and status of vehicles or resources in real-time. This feature was particularly valuable for clients requiring instant updates on deliveries, pickups, or service status, enhancing transparency and trust.

Firebase Token Integration: Leveraging Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), we implemented token-based notification systems. Users were assigned unique Firebase tokens, allowing personalized and targeted notifications. This integration not only ensured timely communication but also enhanced user engagement by delivering relevant updates.

Google Map API Integration: We seamlessly integrated the Google Maps API to provide location-based services and route optimization. Users could view real-time locations on an interactive map, plan efficient routes, and receive turn-by-turn directions, enhancing overall navigation and user convenience.

Efficient Notification Management: A robust notification management system was implemented to handle real-time communication with users. Users received notifications for various events, such as order updates, service alerts, and vehicle tracking information. Notifications were intelligently managed to prevent spam and ensure timely delivery of critical information.
