The Team

Name	Role	Description	Photo	LinkedIn
Timothy Whitaker	Project Manager, Integration Engineer	I am a student and employee who loves computers and programming. Many fields of computer science interest me especially game development and some of my other interests include gyming, socializing, reading and playing guitar.
Scott Bebington	UI Engineer	I am a final year computer science student specializing in front end development. My other hobbies include working out and socializing.
Ethan Groenendyk	Business Analyst	I am a passionate game dev looking to gameify and make good fun out of my projects
Given Chauke	Service Engineer	Life long learner who enjoys challenges and building useful software products. Interested in gaming 🎮 and board games ♟
Nicholas Harvey	Dev Ops Engineer	I have a lot of interest in the future of technology and how it might impact the world, especially the use of AI in a supportive capacity to assist people in their endeavours to enhance productivity more than using either AI or people could accomplish alone. This interest has led to me developing a passion for programming, especially the more mathematically and data-oriented side of things - and thus, I tend to work best in a backend capacity.

Firebase Integration

Tailwaggr uses Firebase for backend services. Here's a breakdown of how we utilize its different services:

• Authentication: Firebase Authentication provides a secure and reliable authentication system. We use it to manage user accounts and handle user sign-in and sign-up processes. It supports various authentication methods, including email and password, Google Sign-In, and Facebook Login.

• Firestore Database: We use Firebase's Cloud Firestore to store and sync data in real time. It allows us to store user profiles, pet information, and other relevant data. The data is synced across all clients in real time and remains available when the app goes offline.

• Cloud Storage: Firebase Cloud Storage is used to store images and other media. This includes profile pictures and any photos shared by users. It provides secure file uploads and downloads for our Firebase apps, regardless of network quality.

• Cloud Functions: We use Firebase Cloud Functions to run backend code in response to events triggered by Firebase features and HTTPS requests. This serverless framework allows us to execute our code in a secure, managed environment.

• Firebase Hosting: We use Firebase Hosting to serve our static and dynamic content. It provides fast and secure hosting for our web app, with a simple deployment process.

By integrating Firebase, we can focus on creating a great user experience, knowing that Firebase's secure and scalable infrastructure is powering our backend.
