My role
I built the whole thing — the design, the pages students see, and the behind-the-scenes part that stores profiles and powers the matching. I also wrote the logic that figures out how well two students would work together.

BuzzMatch
A website that helps Georgia Tech students find the right teammates for school projects, clubs, and hackathons — kind of like a matchmaking app, but for collaborators.

The idea
Finding good teammates in college is harder than it should be. Class group chats are noisy, and you usually don’t know if someone’s a good fit until halfway through the project. BuzzMatch puts every student in one place and shows you who you’d actually work well with.
What it does
- Browse students. Search by major, year, and interests to find people working on similar things.
- See a match score. Each profile shows a quick percentage based on shared skills and goals.
- Connect and message. Tap connect on anyone who looks like a good fit and start a conversation.
- Build your profile. Add your skills, projects, and availability so the right people can find you.
A look inside
What I learned
Small details matter. For example, sorting students by school year seems simple until the computer puts “Graduate” before “Junior” alphabetically. Fixing little things like that is what makes a product feel polished.
