E-commerce and a mobile wallet
Tcell — the mobile operator of Tajikistan
A wallet, a storefront, two teams
What a mobile operator needs before it can take money directly.
Scope
- E-commerce platforms and self-service applications, from MVP design onward.
- A mobile e-wallet, integrated with banking services — the part where correctness stops being a matter of taste.
- Two DevOps teams assembled and managed, so that what we launched could be supported rather than merely delivered.
The management part
This is the period where my job stopped being only code. Hiring, splitting responsibilities, deciding what not to build. I still write software because I prefer to, but I know what it costs to keep a product alive after launch, and I price that in now.
In the same years I founded the first Google Developers Group community in Dushanbe. There wasn't one, and a city with that many developers deserved somewhere to meet.
