Experience
- Full-service Appointment Management Software for Dentists
A React web application that allows dental care providers to book appointments with patients, manage all booked appointments, create and process invoices for appointments, and manage availability.
At first, I was solely responsible for spinning up the MVP in just three weeks, and eventually, I transitioned to full-stack work, including the Node.js back end. I had a great deal of latitude over how to build out features, as long as they met specifications, and utilized experience with lean principles to ensure that we would meet exactly the requirements needed with minimal wasted effort.
The project was released on time achieving strong success and having no major bugs to ruin the first customers' experiences.
