The challenge

The Gixon platform needed a rebuild, and the client couldn’t afford to waste development effort along the way.

What I did

  • A granular rebuild. I planned and executed the rebuild in small, deliberate steps, keeping wasted effort to a minimum and saving the client tens of thousands of euros.
  • Product partnership. I worked as technical advisor and right hand to the product owners, keeping decisions fast and grounded in what was technically realistic.
  • Feature initiatives. I led new feature work with proofs of concept and detailed implementation specs.
  • Delivery pipeline. I set up automated test and distribution pipelines with Fastlane and GitHub Actions.
  • People. I mentored a mid-level iOS engineer and wrote structured onboarding material on the team’s coding principles, reducing ramp-up for new hires by more than three weeks.
