Project Summary

Django Stars rebuilt a TLS-encrypted, Django-based web portal for a UV disinfection company's tablet-connected system, migrating from an older .NET/C# platform to improve maintainability and security. The team delivered the requested features, thorough test documentation, and managed the project with daily sprint reviews, Jira and Slack. The client is in a transition phase, moving users from the old portal to the new one.

Key Challenges

The existing portal was unreliable and not worth repairing.
The previous developer left poor or missing documentation, requiring a rebuild from scratch.
The team needed a more maintainable and secure codebase, prompting migration from .NET/C# to Django/Python.

Project Deliverables

Web-based portal built with Django
Web API connecting tablets to the portal
Android client integration support
Test plans and testing documentation

Project Solution

Django Stars rebuilt the client's portal from scratch, migrating the platform from .NET/C# to Django and Python to improve maintainability and security. They developed a TLS-encrypted, web-based portal and a web API to connect tablets used by the disinfection system. The engagement included front-end and back-end development, UI design, Android integration work, and thorough testing with documentation; project management used daily sprint reviews, Jira, and Slack.

Project Outcome

The project was completed and all requested features were delivered.
Thorough testing and test documentation enabled in-house replication of tests.
Improved project management and communication with daily sprint reviews and Jira/Slack access.
