Senior Product Manager at Appy Ventures

Paul was my right-hand man in delivering a new B2B event booking product for a client in the aerospace industry.

Helping client in aerospace industry cut down costs and improve efficiency of operations

AEROSPACE INDUSTRY

PHP Laravel FilamentPHP SendGrid Ably MySQL

Client goal

As a successful business running global events in the aerospace industry, this company’s goal was to cut down the costs associated with an excessively priced (4-figures monthly) and subpar event management software that was lacking core features.

What did I do on the project?

Created a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for event booking, alongside a complete Content Management System (CMS).

The solution allows the client to empower their own clients to take charge of their events. Creating and managing events, from dates and locations to defining the meeting spaces and inviting meeting organisers as well as sending automatic reminders. Features include the ability to upload CSVs of users, viewing schedules of upcoming meetings.

Alongside the main app, a companion web application was also developed, to be used on-site at events, showcasing the schedule and status of a particular meeting room, updated in real-time.

Improving operations costs and scaling by providing solutions for SaaS company in real estate sector

REAL ESTATE

PHP Laravel FilamentPHP SendGrid MySQL

Client goal

As demand for 360° immersive and interactive experiences increased, the company wanted to scale up and move away from its current process which was based on manual input as follows.

  • shipping third-party 360° cameras to their clients;
  • receiving 360° footage, shot using a third-party mobile application paired with the 360° camera;
  • sending the equipment back as well as the footage captured;
  • processing it by the company;
  • delivering the virtual tour to their client;

What did I do on the project?

The complete solution included a CMS (Content Management System) for both the company and its clients, as well as a mobile iOS application, utilizing the latest LiDAR sensors for the iPhone or iPad to capture a 360° 3D snapshot of a space.

The input from my side was the development of the backend technology to support the functionalities of the iOS application such as property and floor management or storage for assets, tridimensional models and floor plans.

MEDIA

Client goal

Considering the fact that social media space is very competitive, the company wanted to take a different route, that aims to bring back the users to in person private and public events, while at the same time offering the technology to support event management.

What did I do on the project?

I was responsible for developing the backend technology to support the ability to invite other users to the app and add them as friends, as well as creating friend groups, live chat directly in the app to chat with friends, schedule events or receive push notification for various actions inside the app.
