Stuber - A safe ride sharing app for students
A ride sharing app for students. Built completely on Django and MySQL. Users are verified through their school email.
The Problem
Students need affordable, trustworthy ride-sharing within university campuses and nearby areas. Generic services like Uber are expensive for short trips, and hitchhiking offers no safety guarantees.
Development Process
Authentication System
Built a secure registration flow that verifies users exclusively through their .edu email addresses using Django's auth framework.
Database Design
Designed a relational MySQL schema to manage drivers, riders, trip histories, and user ratings with complex query support.
Matching Algorithm
Implemented a trip matching system that connects riders with drivers based on route overlap, departure time, and user ratings.
