• Integrate a map of NYC subway lines and superimpose real-time dots representative of each train
• Devise a more efficient algorithm within backend logic for parsing real-time data feed
• Create testing suites to ensure functionality during development
  • Unit tests
  • Integration tests
  • End-to-end tests
