Project Summary

Unicsoft built a custom cloud-based financial product that linked customer accounts to an algorithmic trading strategy and delivered web and mobile frontends. The team used an AWS serverless stack and implemented a cloud-based event-driven backend while adapting to changing affiliate/platform APIs. The product launched at the end of 2018 and onboarded over 10,000 authorized users; project management and technical adaptability were praised despite some invoicing issues.
