I was tasked to create a system to register and process the company’s contracts, I made an extensive analysis of the user stories told by +10 members of the company’s administration agency, then I designed the system on paper according to the company’s standards and methodologies, then developed an app on Codeigniter and used Postgres as a database, which was successfully integrated at the company’s regional area of operations workflow (The Orinoco Oil Belt)
