Overview
yaleFiesta is an event management platform developed for college festivals and events. With approximately 2,000 users, it provides event registration, ticket booking, schedule management, and participant coordination features.
Developer's Note
yaleFiesta was special because it was built for my college's annual festival. This project taught me about handling traffic spikes - during event announcements, we'd see hundreds of concurrent users. I implemented caching strategies and optimized database queries to handle these surges. The QR code check-in system was particularly fun to build, and seeing students use it at the event was incredibly rewarding.
