Project: HustleBook

HustleBook is a desktop app specially catered towards financial advisors for managing client details and scheduling meetings efficiently without the need to lift their hands off the keyboard. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 15 kLoC.

This project is built on top of the AB3 application that is used for teaching Software Engineering principles.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Added the ability to sort clients through the sort command.
    • What it does: Allows the user to sort clients by meeting time, name, previous date met and salary.
    • Justification: This feature improves the functionality of the product significantly. This feature allows financial advisors to sort and manage clients for everyday operations.
    • Highlights: This enhancement required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives such as Priority Queues. The implementation was challenging as it required changes to existing classes like UniquePersonList and an in-depth understanding of ObservableList and FXCollections.
  • New Feature: Added the ability to list flagged or unflagged clients.
    • What it does: Allows the user to list clients based on whether they are flagged or not. User can list only flagged clients, only unflagged clients or both.
    • Justification: This feature improves the functionality of HustleBook for users by further finetuning what HustleBook displays especially when there are many clients.
  • New Feature: Added a Comparator package for person.
    • What it does: Allows sort to sort clients based on Comparator.
    • Justification: This feature is important for the user to be able to sort by different fields.
