The Inked Link
A public voting website to redirect a QR tattoo on an artists body
The Inked Link is a performance art project by Briony Godivala which features the artist getting a QR code tattoo and letting the public decide via voting where it links to every day.
I was in charge of the software for the project which included:
- A public voting website. This went viral several times on Instagram (500,000+ views!) so plenty of traffic to manage
- Backend APIs to authenticate, daily refresh and store votes, including CAPTCHAs, VPN checks and email verification
- Dynamic redirection from the tattoo to a voted link
Technologies Used:
- React
- Route53
- Amplify
- API Gateway
- Lambda
- DynamoDB
- AWS WAF
