Challenge
- Zero documentation. The previous vendor left without handover notes, making the app's engineering history a black box.
- Live critical bugs. Real users were already hitting failures in production with no clear fix path.
- No data visibility. The team had no real-time view of user behavior, so marketing and product decisions were reactive.
- Single-channel limitation. The product existed only as a mobile app, with no web presence to capture additional growth.

Solution
- Full vendor handover audit. AI-assisted audit of the inherited codebase verified by senior engineers, documentation rebuilt from scratch against the live system, risk assessment of every critical component.
- Critical bug resolution. All production bugs triaged by severity and fixed with regression testing before each release and no additional downtime.
- Real-time analytics dashboard. User data standardized and piped into a live dashboard the product and marketing teams read without engineering help.
- Ongoing web expansion. Continued feature delivery tied to live events, plus development and leadership of a web version.
- Team: 1 Project Manager, 1 Solution Architect, 2 Backend Engineers, 1 Mobile Engineer.
- Stack: React Native · Node.js · AWS · Firebase · PostgreSQL · Redis
