Worked in a cross-functional team of UX designers and software engineers and pitched to a panel of industry experts. We created a gamification app that incentivizes users to cook at home instead of ordering out. The app rewards users with points and badges when they prepare meals at home. Users can input ingredients they have on hand and generate a recipe using OpenAI.
