Project Summary

Blink22 provided auxiliary engineers to a Y Combinator-backed grocery delivery platform, building two internal apps, a native Android app for grocers, and a web support dashboard. The team delivered React Native components to support the core application, reduced crash rates, improved uptime and reliability, and integrated tightly with the client's internal teams.

Key Challenges

Scale quickly due to insufficient internal resources
Build auxiliary/internal products and supplement the core application to meet demand

Project Deliverables

Two internal apps built from scratch
Native Android app for grocers to receive orders
Web dashboard for customer support
React Native components to supplement the core application

Project Solution

Blink22 supplied a team of roughly ten engineers to supplement the client's internal staff.

In-house, they produced React Native components to fill functional gaps and integrated with the client's workflows using Slack and Jira.
