Problem

Client was in dilemma of choosing a widely popular freelancing marketplace for their thousands of members or develop a new freelancing platform for their community.

Solution

After having a couple of requirements gathering sessions, we identified the most important features, selected a technology stack, and outlined a project roadmap. By following Agile best practices, our software engineers were able to deliver new functionality every 2 weeks. In order to enable time tracking and task management, our engineers used & integrated with Jira and Bitbucket and setup automated deployment pipelines on AWS EC2.

Ultimately the client was provided a brand new freelancing platform along with multiple options to members of their community. It lets users of the community to not only post jobs, get hired but also allowed them to list their local business and provides a dedicated classified platform within the marketplace.
