Google Places API JavaScript feature integrated into Ruby on Rails

Women Who Code (WWC), a Global Non-Profit Organization, was looking for assistance fixing a bug in their current "Create a New Network" internal application.

Problem: Geocoder Gem was inaccurate and allowed users (WWC employees) to submit words other than locations and therefore did not capture latitude and longitude coordinates.

Task: Implement Google Maps feature seamlessly on top of Ruby without disrupting the current framework as this was an active page.

Challenges: Prior to this project, I had not worked with Ruby so there was a bit of a learning curve to navigate the Dev Environment. Because this was a large, active codebase, it was crucial to be careful about workflow in order to avoid conflicts (e.g., rebasing daily, updating schemaDB often, etc).

Outcome: Success! Google Places API JavaScript feature with Google Maps, autocomplete, and autopopulate integrated into Ruby on Rails.
