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.
  • Free apps and management software for a foundation that supports hospitalised children.
  • Digitalised event management and coordination so the foundation could reach more hospitals and more kids.
  • 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 covering every role needed to run a full SCRUM cycle, with me as the iOS lead. We did all of this voluntarily, in downtime or on our own time.

The project

We reached out to the Theodora Foundation, a non-profit that supports children hospitalised with cancer or other serious illnesses. Knowing how hard that experience can be, the foundation organises clown performances in hospitals to bring smiles to these kids during their toughest moments.

We offered them — completely free and with no strings attached — a way to digitalise and automate their work through mobile apps and management software:

  • Managing and coordinating events and their participants far more efficiently.
  • More capacity to reach more hospitals and more children.
  • Built with SwiftUI, Apple’s brand-new UI framework at the time.
