Found Me is a sophisticated system designed to help individuals stay connected with their loved ones and safeguard their valuable possessions through an innovative tagging system linked to mobile applications.

Project Description

Found Me is a pioneering solution aimed at addressing a universal concern — the fear of losing loved ones or important belongings. The project offers a vast array of benefits through its sleek integration of technology and daily life. Aimed at individuals who wish to safeguard their dear ones and precious items, Found Me functions by using a combination of physical tags, labels, bracelets, and necklaces. These items are integrated with Android and iOS mobile applications to ensure that users can effortlessly connect and communicate with either their family or compassionate bystanders in the event of an emergency or loss. The platform's primary strength lies in its ability to merge modern technological solutions with everyday practical needs. This ease of use is complemented by a meticulous design that includes a seamless user interface and robust backend support. Users can stay assured about the whereabouts of their possessions and loved ones through real-time alerts and updates enabled by the mobile applications. By developing a user-friendly app that harmoniously integrates with the physical tags, labels, and accessories, Found Me brings peace of mind to its users, ensuring secure and private communication. Ultimately, Found Me represents a significant leap forward in personal and asset security, offering a global solution that anyone can rely on.

Scope of Work

For our client, Crazi Co, the goal was to realize the full potential of their innovative vision of keeping people connected with their prized possessions and loved ones. The initial challenge lay in creating the Found Me App, an essential part of their broader strategy to provide a secure and convenient platform for users. The project required the development of a user-centric application that would allow seamless interaction with a range of physical identifiers like tags, labels, bracelets, and necklaces. These physical elements are crucial for the app's mission, as they enable users to establish private communication pathways during situations of loss or emergencies. The overarching objective was to create a cohesive and efficient system that not only protects the user’s personal treasures but also enhances their quality of life through sophisticated tech integration. The project aimed to tackle the technical challenges of building a cross-compatible app that could operate across both Android and iOS platforms, as well as address the complexities of data management and real-time communication. This was achieved while ensuring that the solutions remained scalable, secure, and user-friendly, thereby meeting and exceeding the client’s expectations.

Our Solution

The creation of the Found Me App marked a pivotal advancement in the project's framework towards enhancing connectivity and protection for individuals. The core solution involved leveraging cutting-edge technology to craft a robust platform that is both user-friendly and efficient. PostgreSQL (v9.x) was selected as the primary database solution, chosen for its reliability and robustness in data storage, ensuring consistent availability of the information necessary for user operations. Complementing the database, the app was developed for both Android and iOS platforms using their respective SDKs. This cross-platform approach facilitated broader user accessibility and optimized user experiences tailored to each operating system. Ensuring seamless data management and advanced analytics capabilities, Elasticsearch (v6.x) was implemented, serving as a powerful tool for storing and analyzing data with high efficiency. The front-end was developed using Angular 8, which allowed for a responsive and dynamic user interface that smoothly utilizes RESTful APIs. The integration of Kafka (v2.2.x) enabled fast and efficient data streaming between the app's microservices, which is fundamental for ensuring real-time communication and processing. Docker was employed to create production-ready containers, which simplified the processes of deployment, replication, and system recovery while maintaining a lightweight operational environment. These technological implementations ensured that the Found Me App not only fulfilled its promise of securing connections and assets but did so in a way that was both innovative and highly efficient.
