Project Summary

CognitiveClouds designed and developed native iOS and Android apps for vendi, a London-based tech marketplace, creating wireframes and iterating on designs before building the iOS (Swift) and Android (Java/Kotlin) apps. The iOS app launched in six months and the Android app followed three months later; the iOS app achieved 1,000+ downloads within six months and both apps maintained a 4.5+ rating. The engagement featured frequent communication via Slack and sprint management with Trello.
