Challenges in team management, client relationship during remote work (COVID), and need for high-quality, performant features.

The Solution

Implemented robust scrum processes, fostered team ownership, and focused on performance/testing to deliver a highly successful social platform.

Vision & Impact

Jobcase provides critical capabilities like job access, profile building, learning resources, and community advice, empowering users in their work-life journey.

Detailed Overview

At Jobcase, a 'people-first' social platform designed to help users improve and manage their work-life, I proudly led a 20-member team as Team Lead and Lead React-Native Engineer. My tenure involved delivering heterogeneous requirements and managing well-organized client teams. I worked closely to enhance team problem-solving skills for fast-tracked, quality code, and established innovative scrum processes (live demos, reports, knowledge sharing sessions). Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdown, we delivered high-quality code that secured new client relationships. Within 6-8 months, the team achieved self-management for sprint scope, technical reviews, OKRs, and Scrum processes, fostering distributed ownership and significantly improving overall performance.
