Bookify is a book exchange web app that allows users to easily exchange single or multiple books with others. Users can also message each other before completing an exchange, ensuring a smooth and efficient process. It also includes AI-generated book summaries to help users explore content before making a decision. Users can listen to audiobooks and use voice search to find books quickly and conveniently. Each book has a preview feature so users can read a sample before exchanging. An admin dashboard allows efficient management of users, books, and exchange requests.

As a Fullstack Developer and Team Lead, I contributed around 50% to the frontend and 70% to the backend of Bookify. I developed core features like book exchange logic, messaging backend, real-time reviews, and related books. Additionally, I managed project architecture, Git workflows, deployment, and led the team using Scrum and Trello for smooth collaboration and delivery.
