Description
OwlExchange is a secure, role-based campus marketplace designed to help Kennesaw State University students buy, sell, exchange, and donate items in a trusted digital environment. The platform replaces unorganized and unsafe exchanges occurring across group chats and social media by providing a centralized system with authenticated user accounts, item listings, and transparent communication. Built with a Flask (Python) MVC architecture, Auth0 for secure identity management, and MySQL for persistent storage, OwlExchange supports modular dashboards for buyers, sellers, and administrators, enabling item management, interest requests, and platform oversight. By promoting reuse and donation of textbooks, furniture, electronics, and other student items, the system contributes to affordability and sustainability on campus. The project demonstrates full-stack development, secure authentication design, UI/UX branding aligned with KSU identity, and cloud deployment with a documented roadmap for future enhancements.
