Post of Joy
Collaborative full-stack development for Post of Joy, a nonprofit website. The work included a responsive interface, persistent user-generated content, and cloud deployment.
Context
The problem
Turn stakeholder needs into a useful, responsive website that supports user-generated content and can be reached through the nonprofit’s own domain.
How it fits together
Architecture & approach
The work combines product decisions, persistent data, and deployment. Public screenshots and examples must respect the nonprofit’s permission and the privacy of people whose content appears on the site.

My contribution
What I worked on
- Worked with nonprofit stakeholders and incorporated their feedback.
- Developed the Flask application and responsive HTML, CSS, and JavaScript interface, with Firestore for persistent content.
- Deployed the website on Google Cloud Run and configured its custom domain and DNS.
Technical choices
The choices behind the work
A managed database and cloud runtime reduce the infrastructure the project needs to own, but the application still needs clear rules for user content and data access.
Looking back
Results & current status
The website is live at postofjoy.org. This was a collaborative project.
Testing and evidence
Stakeholder feedback informed iterations. No formal accessibility audit, load-test figures, or user study results were supplied for the nonprofit application.
What I learned & what comes next
Deployment is part of the product story. A useful follow-up artifact would connect one specific stakeholder request to the resulting interface change and explain the responsibility for ongoing maintenance.
