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
