As a musician, I always thought it would be cool if there was a way to find local live music on an interactive map. I built a web app to try and accomplish this. Using python, I scraped music event data from a national live music website. I then populated the map with this data. The resulting web app allowed users to search for live music and view details including the artist, genre, venue, time/date, and other information. I also implemented several filters to help the user to narrow down their live music search, including parameters for music genre and event time.

Eventually, I discontinued the app due to a number of challenges: Amazon Web Services (AWS) storage costs and difficulty obtaining data (the live music website I was using a data source did not have an API to streamline consumption of data into the map). Still, I learned a ton of cool new skills during this project, including: AWS, webscraping with Python's BeautifulSoup library, web browser automation with Python's Selenium library, plus a whole lot of JavaScript.
