Project Summary

Qubika (formerly December Labs) migrated the client's tech stack and designed a new database schema while managing both front-end and back-end development. The team used PHP/MySQL on the backend and JavaScript/React on the frontend, and also performed some iOS work and security recommendations. Their work helped the client close a venture capital round by increasing investor confidence, and the vendor met deadlines and maintained an ongoing retainer relationship.
