Contribution
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 decided to form an independent development team alongside our regular work, with the goal of helping teammates from different departments solve complex or time-consuming problems through technology.
The team covered every role needed to run a full SCRUM cycle (iOS, Android, Web, Backend, SM, PO, QA, etc.), with me as the lead and sole responsible for the iOS area.
We did all this voluntarily, in downtime or on our own time, and one of the projects that came to life was ‘ONGTheodora’:
As a team, we reached out to a non-profit foundation to explore the possibility of offering them — completely free and with no strings attached — a way to manage their work and services in a much more digital and automated way through mobile apps and management software.
To build it, we chose SwiftUI, Apple’s then brand-new UI framework, which had barely been on the market at the time.
The foundation in question — (Theodora) — exists to support children hospitalized with cancer or similar serious conditions. Knowing how difficult that experience can be for a child, the foundation organizes events and clown performances in hospitals to bring smiles and moments of joy to these kids during their hardest times. Our software focused on streamlining the management and coordination of these events and their participants in a much more efficient way, enabling the foundation to reach more hospitals and more children.
