Vojo is a hosted version of the VozMob SMS blogging platform. Vojo Allows anyone to create, contribute to, and coordinate an online blogging community without needing internet access. Text, video, and audio can be contributed through SMS. This platform was developed to enable low-income populations to contribute to online digital media, without needing broadband internet or a smart phone.

My role on this project was implmenting many of the features necessary to convert the single-site VozMob code into a hosted multi-site platform that allowed anyone to create a community. I also supervised an MIT undergraduate working on the project as a developer.
