Consulting and Staff Augmentation

Field Day (formerly Local ID) was running behind and needed extra developers to help get them caught up on their product roadmap.

Gunner Technology provided two React developers to help optimize the existing web application as well as add new front-end features in React, which the app was built on.

React is an unopinionated framework and the Field Day developers were so pressed for time that they fell behind on documentation.

This made it difficult to get up, running and contributing especially given our time constraints.

We were an autonomous unit without automated testing or documentation to guide us, so we implemented regression testing for every area of the app we touched so we would know if we unknowingly broke anything.

We used Jest to do this.

This was a cut-and-dry Agile Scrum approach with one-week iterations followed by a deploy before each IPM

The importance of testing and documentation really became apparent on this project - especially given that it was built in React.

An undocumented Rails project is much easier to contribute to because Rails is a by-convention, opinionated framework.

By cleaning up the front end code, we took a large chunk of work off the Field Day team, allowing the core Field Day engineers were able to concentrate on adding the core business logic and function needed to move the product toward launch.

Field Day CEO, Alex Nocifera, had worked with Gunner prior on another venture, so he called us up when he needed help with Field Day.
