About This Project

The Badge Scanner application was built using Ionic and Angular, with mobile first principles before mobile first was cool. It uses the Capacitor framework to build native applications for iOS and Android. The application uses the Salesforce SOQL API to query the Salesforce database for event attendees. The application is hosted on AWS Lambda and uses the AWS API Gateway to serve the application to the users.
