Project Summary

Droids On Roids improved an existing library and delivered the first round Android prototype for Electric Objects, a small startup building digital art frames. The vendor fixed bugs, improved performance, integrated the library into the device software, and provided Ruby on Rails developers to augment the client's backend work. The Android app was published on Google Play and the client reported strong satisfaction with the team's technical quality and communication.
