Project Summary

Selleo rebuilt the client’s employment platform (second version) as a full-stack web application using React on the frontend and a Ruby on Rails service layer backed by MongoDB. The vendor handled data modeling, API development and architectural decisions, integrated GraphQL, and worked closely with the client's in-house designer and product team. The engagement began in December 2016 and continues as an ongoing collaboration.

Key Challenges

Need for nearshore developers to help build and evolve the platform

Project Solution

They helped build the client’s digital platform by rewriting the web application from scratch. The stack uses HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React on the frontend, backed by a Ruby on Rails web service layer on top of MongoDB. The vendor performed full-stack development including data modeling and service API development, supported the client with ongoing development, contributed to architectural decisions during the Rails migration, and initiated a GraphQL integration. They collaborated with the in-house designer and effectively acted as part of the client's team.

Project Outcome

High-quality code and reliable delivery
Strong cultural fit and seamless integration with the client’s team
Ongoing, long-term engagement since Dec. 2016
