Tahirih Natang
I am a student from India, pursuing Bachelors in Technology(B Tech) in Computer Science from Keshav Memorial Institute of Technology. I am a budding Software Developer, mostly interested in App development. Different platforms and new technologies always push me more to learn and experiment with them. I am an avid learner and hope to grow myself along with the tech-industry.

The Mobile App Control Center (MACC) acts as a server-side platform for the Peace Corps mobile applications. The project was first started in 2014, to implement an infoHub from Malaria applications to MACC. The project enables the Peace Corps from the Headquaters to send information through mobile applications.
My mentors were Neetu Jain, Angel Tian, and Irish Medina. This is the list of all my commits in the past 4 months - here.
According to my proposal, I had the following goals to accomplish -
- Remove PeaceTrack application from MACC
- The task was to get rid of Peace Track application from the server since the mobile applications are not running now, and has been accomplished.
- Add PCSA application to MACC
- The task was to entirely integrate PCSA applications with MACC by making the app dynamic.
- I have implemented this feature for 3 categories out of 6 in the PCSA application. Now Peace Corps headquarters can add, edit, or delete posts to be shown in PCSA.
- Unit testing of the API is done, but integration testing has to be done. Since the requirements were confirmed a little later in time, it was hard to finish the entire task.
- Added API documentation, PCSA-MACC integration documentation.
A few additional contributions of mine included -
- Add Login functionality in Malaria applications
- The patients details signing up on the malaria application are stored on the MACC database, in order to have one database for applications on different platforms (Android and iOS).
- Fix issues from last year
- Made the application more modular by adding new Django apps for specific functionalities like profile, signup
- Changed the Peace Corps logo with the new logo
- Django, a python based web framework for designing the project
- Django rest framework for REST calls to mobile apps
- Bootstrap for proper UI design.
Being a mobile app developer myself, this project had all the new technologies that I got to learn as a part of GSoC. It was very interesting to be working on a real time project and I tried my best to accomplish all my goals. My mentors were very friendly and helpful throughout, and I couldn't be more thankful to be their mentee. GSoC has opened up a different perspective of mine toward OpenSource, by which I have decided to be contributing to FOSS for as long as possible. I also have improved my skills in communication, as my project required me to keep in touch with all other PC mobile app developers and mentors.
