Dynamic Survey Creator

Real-Time Survey Building and Insights Tool

Project Overview

Built a dynamic survey tool using React as the frontend engineer on an intern group project at Cigna, engineering an AWS backend to compile FHIR-compliant JSON and automate 1,500+ response uploads, reducing processing time by 70%. Unable to share final designs due to company policy (figma mockups available in final designs section).

Problem

There was a need for a tool that could dynamically create surveys and provide immediate insights into the survey results. Existing tools lacked flexibility or were too complex for internal teams.

Solution

We built a user-friendly platform where users could design surveys, add custom logic, preview survey flows, and view response data—all in one tool with integrated backend support for real-time analysis.

Timeline

Week 1–4: Research & Wireframing
Week 5–8: React Native Development
Week 9–12: Frontend-Backend Integration & Testing

Design Process

Tool Research

Reviewed top survey creation platforms to identify features users expect and areas for improvement.

Mockup Creation

Designed wireframes and flows in Figma, including survey creation, preview, logic, and dashboard pages.

Frontend Development

Coded the frontend interface with React Native, focusing on responsive layouts and intuitive design.

Backend Integration

Integrated frontend with backend to enable real-time survey response tracking and dynamic logic.

Usability Testing

Tested the tool internally, gathered employee feedback, and iterated on usability issues.

Final Demo & Future Scope

Presented the tool to internal teams and identified future improvements like export options and survey templates.

Research

Methods

Competitive analysis of 6+ survey platforms
Internal user interviews
UI feedback sessions during beta testing

Key Insights

Users preferred a low-friction survey creation experience with drag-and-drop components
Previewing logic and flow before deployment was critical to avoid errors in live surveys

Final Designs

Outcomes

Challenges: First time coding outside of class and working in a language I had no prior experience with (C++ in classes vs. React for this project). The learning curve was steep and at times frustrating.
Learnings: Learned to get comfortable asking for help, relying on documentation, and embracing trial-and-error. Realized how rewarding it feels to push through the learning curve.
Impact: Successfully demoed to 70K+ employees, reduced internal survey setup time by 70%, and received strong positive feedback on usability and potential integration into other internal tools.
