 SoloConnect is a full stack web application that aims to connect solo travelers with one another while they're abroad to facilitate face-to-face interaction and create more meaningful memories/experiences. Our goal is to improve safety during solo travel by helping users dynamically create travel groups and make unfamiliar environments not feel quite so foreign. 
 
-SoloConnect is hosted using AWS Elastic Beanstalk and uses a Django/Channels(in progress)/PostgreSQL stack on the backend and HTML/Bootstrap5/JavaScript on the front-end. These technologies were a great fit for many of the business problems we aimed to solve, and we've found this stack to be great to work with and an excellent educational experience.

+Key Features:
+- Creating a full user profile complete with bio, 5 profile images, age, education information, and set of interests
+- Creating and updating trips to a set of the most popular tourist destinations in the 10 most popular countries for tourism in the United States
+- Sending and receiving match requests between users visiting the same destination on overlapping dates
+- Filtering the trip-level match pool based on a set of hard filters (age, spoken language) and using a KNN classifier to order the match pool by similarity score based on a set of soft filters (travel interests, smoking/drinking preference, education level, etc.)
+- WebSocket-enabled real time chat between matched users with dynamic thread creation on match and dynamic deletion on unmatch
