VivCare

A Patient Healthcare Management Software by Isaiah Hickerson

A little about me…

• I am from San Diego, California. I became interested in SWE one day when I woke up from a dream, and it led me to attending Marcy Lab School, the best decision I’ve made.
• I am really excited to work on real world applications as a full-stack engineer as I love touching a bit of everything within a software application.
• I chose to learn Next.Js and Typescript during this capstone to create more optimized, secure, and enhanced applications. Next.JS is a powerful framework, and what got me most excited about it was to learning App Routing.

What is VivCare?

Technical Accomplishments

Learning and utilizing Appwrite for database & server development within Next.JS.

Using Appwrite was a decision made based off of needs and the convenience it created for me. Appwrite consisted of SMS messaging, data storage, a nosql database, all in one.

Appwrite wraps over the entire VivCare project, and has played a valuable role into allowing me to create what I had in mind without lots of hard coding.

​

What did I learn?

• Documentation is your best friend. Read it.
• Be open to new libraries and frameworks that may make your life easier.
• Make sure to write clean code, otherwise something may end up breaking later on.
• Typescript is beneficial and will save you in the long run.
