Project: TalentConnect

TalentConnect is a desktop address book application optimized for solo freelancer recruiters. It is a brownfield project adapted from AddressBook Level 3. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java and has about 10 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.
