Overview

NyteOut was developed as my bachelor’s capstone project—a mobile app designed to simplify nightlife discovery in the Chicagoland area. Look at it as if tripadvisor and yelp had a baby but it for directed towards bars, pubs, and clubs.

Our goal was to ship a functional MVP that could run on both iOS and Android, provide real-time venue profiles and events, and serve as a foundation for future monetization strategies through sponsored placements.

Approach

  • React Native app with Expo for iOS & Android
  • MongoDB clusters for flexible, scalable data storage
