Project Summary
u2i assisted with backend development for a parking web and mobile application, building on an existing WordPress site and addressing issues left by a previous vendor. The team worked with Node.js and AWS (EC2, S3), integrated Parse API, and supported web and mobile code including PHP, jQuery and Swift refactoring. The engagement ran from September 2018 to January 2019 and the client praised u2i's communication and technical expertise.
Key Challenges
- Overhaul a stagnant app and revive development after work by another firm
- Provide backend expertise in AWS, Node.js, and Parse API
- Integrate improvements without scrapping the existing WordPress site
Project Deliverables
- Backend development
- AWS EC2 and S3 infrastructure
- Parse API integration
- WordPress site enhancements

Project Solution
u2i built on top of the client's existing WordPress site rather than scrapping prior work, focusing on backend improvements. They used Node.js, AWS (EC2 and S3) and Parse API to stabilize and advance the backend, applied jQuery and PHP on the web/mobile side, and assisted with Swift refactoring for the mobile app. The engagement included two u2i team members (including a project manager) working collaboratively with the client's frontend team.
Project Outcome
- Project issues were identified and resolved against defined goals
- Metrics and target goals were checked off as the engagement progressed
- Clear, fast communication improved trust and ensured efficient delivery
