The challenge
The GjirafaMall App needed mobile push notifications as part of the wider shopping experience. This feature was delivered collaboratively within the product team.
How I tackled it
I worked on the push-notification backend with guidance from my supervisor. A colleague handled the frontend with their own supervisor, and we collaborated across backend and frontend to deliver the feature.
What shipped
Contributed the backend work for mobile push notifications as part of the team delivering the GjirafaMall App. I also completed other backend tasks for the app; notifications were my main area of contribution.
Behind the work
Contributing to the GjirafaMall App
GjirafaMall is a Gjirafa product built by a collaborative product team. I worked primarily on backend tasks for the mobile app as a member of that team.
My main contribution: push notifications
Mobile push notifications were my main area of work. I implemented backend functionality using the C# / .NET and Azure stack, with guidance and support from my supervisor.
A collaborative feature effort
I worked with my supervisor on the backend, alongside a frontend colleague and their supervisor. Backend and frontend contributions came together to deliver the feature in the mobile app.
Beyond notifications
I also contributed to other backend tasks for the GjirafaMall App. The focus here is on push notifications because they represented the largest part of my contribution.
