Engineering Challenge at Goldman Sachs | Warsaw-1st Place
With a team of 4 people, in 24-hour hackathon, we wrote a web browser extension for productivity. The extension connects to Google Calendar & Jira API to fetch tasks, order them by importance and distribute them to your calendar. It also can connect to your Gmail and displays important mails from predefined addresses. In our project I coded a Python-Flask REST API to connect with our extension, took care of Gmail API and made the frontend of the extension utilizing vanilla JS.
