The Solution
Our team of full-stack developers wielded their expertise in Scrum methodologies to craft and implement an agile process, giving structure and consistency to feature development. We cleaned up legacy code making the developing environment more maintainable.
We used the latest technologies to improve performance issues with the app, achieving an 18-fold increase in FlavorPill’s web page concurrent user capacity while simultaneously sharply reducing response times. What’s more, we refined their mailer, and were steadfast in our efforts to help launch a new, polished responsive homepage.
They’re smart, focused, and passionate about writing and maintaining great code, and are constantly striving to improve the way we work together. They say they’re Ruby and agile, and they are, delivering every week.
The Results
The tightly integrated process we put in place is one that FlavorPill can rely on for the long-term. The one week Scrum sprints provided a space for product managers, designers, and developers to openly communicate. Our code base improvements led to faster dev time and a major performance boost.
All these results contributed to the fact that FlavorPill was able to double its user base in just a few months. Further, as lead developer, we teamed up with FlavorPill’s Chief Product Officer to evaluate potential hires, thereby helping FlavorPill form a robust product development team.
