SUCCESS STORY

Lone developer working with a client in medical research. Over 18 months, built two interconnected Groovy/React applications, without existing infrastructure. One app enabled the non-profit to manage their grants and staff, an upgrade from many spreadsheets. The second equipped researchers with device-agnostic tooling to enter and deeply query participant data, transforming research recruiting. Mentored FTEs who would take the app into the future.
