Newcomers to Newfoundland & Labrador often lack one reliable place to learn about settlement services, housing, health care, and community supports—information is scattered and hard to trust at a glance.
Approach
The work focuses on a backend API built with FastAPI and MongoDB, using Pydantic and Beanie for strict validation and an async ODM. Postman covers systematic API testing. The design targets a future frontend that will surface curated resources to newcomers in a single, consistent experience.
