A mobile app shipped with placed engineers, then designed properly
AdultEd Pro was weeks from launching its app and needed React Native developers, a QA engineer and a finished design at once. We screened the candidates, placed the engineers who carried the releases after the January 2024 launch, and designed the app properly in Figma at a fixed price.

The situation
AdultEd Pro, an education-technology startup, was weeks from launching its mobile app and needed React Native developers, a QA engineer and a finished app design at the same time, with no room for a hiring cycle. The work ran alongside Evolo AI, the software team building the product, who joined the daily delivery huddles through the first half of 2024.
What we built
Candidate screening and interviews for React Native developers, with the first resumes delivered in December 2023 and a further candidate selected after interviews in March 2024
A React Native developer placed from February 2024 on a monthly staff-augmentation arrangement
A QA engineer added at AdultEd Pro's request from 1 March, with daily stand-ups
UI/UX design for the app in Figma, delivered as a fixed-price project in March 2024, with the design file handed over on 16 April
An on-site hire introduced for AdultEd Pro in April 2024
What changed
The app went live on 22 January 2024 and the placed engineers carried the releases that followed through to May, while the design project gave the product a finished interface in under a month.
