The Challenge
Preen.Me was looking to build a responsive web application using modern frameworks and technologies that would provide an environment to assist users in making beauty decisions and to serve as a social hub for digital beauty content.
Having met Intersog at a huge IT trade show in Tel Aviv, Preen.Me further evaluated our experience, offshore capabilities, and technology expertise and eventually chose Intersog as their main software development partner.
Solution
- Intersog’s HR consultants performed initial candidates screening and submitted the best matching applicants to Product Owners for interview and assessment.
- Having got the Client’s approval for hiring, Intersog built a Collaborative Software Development team for Preen.Me in our Kyiv-based R&D Center. The team was comprised of a Project Manager and a Python developer.
- Additional resources were added to the team on a temporary basis upon request throughout the project.
It took Intersog-hosted team 4 months to deliver a full-fledged responsive web solution for Preen.Me.
Languages used:
Python - primary web application coding
Java - product import
Ruby - Amazon web search
Shell script - build / dev
Preen.Me primarily uses Angular.js on the client-side, although some legacy components also make extensive use of jQuery.
