I used to work for a self driving truck company out of Boston and in 2021 I got to work on the web app that allowed for non technical folks to operate the vehicle. We had a small web development team, of which I was the only backend engineer, that worked with the robotics engineers that worked on the vehicle to build out the workflows for how the truck operated and create an interface and communication with the vehicle. It was awesome being there the first time someone pressed a button on the interface and the truck lurched forward. It couldn't have been done without the collaboration within the whole team!

Its a web app that people submit 1 song per week and then everyone gets to vote on the all the different songs but their own. After all the rounds have been completed, the person with the most votes wins! Its a fun way to share music with people and get competitive. Been using this app with other online communities and friends for a few months and have really been enjoying it.
NOTE: I created a PI.FYI League where the first submission is this friday. I limited it to 25 people for now not sure if I should open that up to more but it would be pretty overwhelming to have more than 25 songs to listen and vote on. The join link is attached to this rec!
