Not everything has to be about work — technology is one of the best ways to help others.

Key impact

  • iOS lead in a cross-functional volunteer team covering every SCRUM role.
  • Clock in and out in just two taps by automating the time-tracking website.
  • Automatic geolocation-based clock-in (10-metre radius) with push notification confirmations.
  • Early adoption of SwiftUI, freshly released by Apple.

The context

During my time at Innocv, driven by my passion for technology and its power to improve people’s lives, a group of colleagues and I formed an independent development team to help teammates from other departments solve everyday problems through technology.

The team covered every role needed to run a full SCRUM cycle (iOS, Android, Web, Backend, SM, PO, QA…), with me as the iOS lead. We did all of this voluntarily, in downtime or on our own time.

The project

With Dolibarr we wanted to get rid of the daily hassle of clocking in and out of the workday, while exploring new technologies purely out of curiosity:

  • The app automated clocking in through the time-tracking provider’s JavaScript website: entry and exit in two taps.
  • Since remote work wasn’t common back then, we added automatic geolocation-based clock-in when entering or leaving a 10-metre radius around any office, confirmed with a push notification.
  • We built it with SwiftUI, Apple’s brand-new UI framework at the time.
