Project History
API Integration
Added an API functionality to a SaaS platform for vendor integration.
I was involved in the whole project lifecycle, from supporting product owners and managers with flushing out the project scope to coordinating and managing the scrum of scrums between the three technical teams and finally testing and documenting the final result. The project was a proof of concept that was later used to justify my software company's acquisition by the hardware vendor.
Chinese Localization of a SaaS Product
Created the proof of concept for an update to the Chinese localization and Gaode Maps API.
I coordinated with multiple product teams on simultaneous approaches for the proof of concept. Our goal was to provide our SaaS product with a completely new map API (Gaode Maps instead of Google Maps.) I mainly worked with the framework update team, which focused on migrating the product from GWT to React as the main means of providing a customer with the proof of concept.
The customer accepted the proof of concept as well as the scheduled timeline for product delivery. This resulted in the company being able to expand into the Chinese market a year ahead of schedule.
