WatNews

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywPzqQH72K4 Competed in the Big Data contest organized by Tata Consulting Services, where participants were ask to build a mobile application that searches, collects, and presents free content from various sources on the web to users of our app. For the contest, I created WatNews, a mobile application that pulls data from the University of Waterloo’s Open Data API and aggregates the data to build a responsive cross-platform (ios/android) mobile application. The application gives users the ability to access the latest news headlines and articles from the University of Waterloo in the palm of their hand. Application built using C++ and the Qt framework.
