About the Team

We’re a small team of IT students who came together with a graphic design student to build BAG for our capstone project. Three team members focused on programming, one focused on database work, and one helped shape the visual identity and branding. We’re all graduating soon, but we hope to keep improving BAG beyond this project.

Joey Ackerman-Lowery

Programming Student

Joey created the initial version of the financial tracking program to give the team a strong starting point to build on together. Followed by focusing on developing and improving the Dashboard, Semesters, Transactions, and Funding sections by adding edit and delete functionality and organizing how data is displayed.

Joey's strengths are problem-solving, attention to detail, and making sure both the front-end and back-end work smoothly together.
