Development Journey

Concept and Design
The journey began with in-depth alignment meetings and workflow analysis with the stakeholders, where diagrams and methodologies helped define the application’s core features. Leveraging tools like Figma and adopting design philosophies such as design thinking, mobile-first, and minimalism, the entire user interface was carefully crafted. These designs prioritized usability and visual appeal, ensuring a modern and intuitive experience.

Once the design was finalized and approved by the client, the project transitioned to the development phase.

Backend Development
At the heart of this project lies a streamlined backend. Built using .NET 9 and C#, the Web API supports core functionalities such as secure user authentication and cryptography. The data is stored in a SQL Server database, ensuring reliability and scalability. For document and image storage, the application integrates with an Amazon S3 server, providing fast and secure access to files.

To enhance performance and monitoring, the backend operates in Docker containers on a Linux server, utilizing advanced logging and monitoring features. This architecture ensures a robust and efficient backend capable of handling complex operations.

Mobile Application
The mobile application, built using React Native, serves as the primary interface for users. It includes a wide range of functionalities, such as project management, building oversight, personnel management, and form handling. Leveraging the latest libraries and components with an atomic design methodology, the app is not only fast and responsive but also scalable for future enhancements.

After rigorous testing, the mobile app was deployed to both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, providing seamless access for Android and iOS users.

Web Application
The web application complements the mobile app by providing tools specifically for managers. Built using Next.js and TypeScript, it enables efficient data management, including CRUD operations, data uploads, and Excel exports. The web app uses Next.js’s server-side capabilities to deliver fast and performant pages while maintaining a clean and functional interface.

Similar to the backend, the web application is deployed in Docker containers on Linux servers, ensuring consistency across the project’s infrastructure.
