Poll Well

Web App

Politics

Poll Well is a survey tool created with the goal of providing more accurate political data to the public. I created this tool for a client, and it has been used to successfully predict the outcome of several state elections. This app was built on the MERN stack and includes an admin interface as well as a user survey view. I did all of the front and back end development work for this project and provided guidance on marketing, audience creation, and analytics.
