Fintech Crowdfunding Platform

With a remote team, led the build of an investment crowdfunding company's offerings platform—achieving seamless integration.

I led a team of nine remote developers, QA engineers, UX designers and DevOps engineers to deliver a secure platform that allows admin users to create and manage crowdfunding offerings as well as a secure investment wizard for investors to quickly and in a safe manner invest in an offering of their choice using existing bank accounts, creating a new one, or using an eWallet built in the platform.

Communication management was an essential key for success since the project involved integration with third-party partners for tokenization, signature, and banking service, and the development team was completely remote.

Tools and technologies used include Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Heroku, Jenkins, Docker, Jira, Slack, and Selenium.

Mobile Online Payment App

Led QR code payment product development and successfully launched ahead of competitors.

I ed a team of seven developers, QA testers, DevOps engineers, and UX designers in delivering a new and secure app capable of handling bank transactions and service payments using account numbers and QR codes.

Tools and technologies used include React Native, Jira, GitHub, and Slack.

• Two secure web applications that allow retail stores and admin users to track and manage the reward system, promotions, and financial information.
• A mobile app for cardholders to keep track of and use their reward points acquired through the use of their credit cards on the EPNs POS.
