Craft Beer Subscription App
An advertising agency wanted to develop a mobile application for a startup working on a subscription service to regularly ship craft brews to subscribers. The mobile application needed to capture feedback on deliveries, establish a taste profile, show detailed information on thousands of different brews, and allow the user to manage their profile and delivery preferences.
Challenge
The chosen mobile application technology (hybrid mobile) presented several technical feasibility challenges, especially in device APIs and performance. Additionally, the client's first-choice backend-as-a-service (Parse) was being sunset by Facebook and had to migrate to a new long-term solution.
Solution
We built a performant mobile application using Ionic and made details of each brew available through the Untappd API. I was responsible for bringing the high-fidelity designs of an exacting design team to life and tasked with engaging the client toward a long-term API strategy. We worked towards migrating the BaaS away from Parse and towards a self-hosted NoSQL solution and built automated build and deployment tooling.
