How we worked with the client
Our work with BitGive included a team manager responsible for overseeing all cross-functional team members geo-located in Uruguay and Argentina. The project was managed in an agile fashion through JIRA working with sprints that were two weeks in length along with daily meetings. Skype or Google hangout meetings were occasionally held on a need-to basis. Communication was mainly conducted through JIRA by providing comments on assigned tasks. Email was also used as well.
The Solution
Infuy was part of the team that developed an application for accepting global donations. This application provided a layer of transparency to the donations so they could easily be secured and tracked through the use of blockchain technology. We were placed in charge of the development for both the front-end and back-end of the application, including communication with the Blockchain API. The back-end was built with Node JS under the infrastructure of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Jenkins CI, while React JS was used for the front-end development.
