New Sight company is providing outsourcing software development services. The company market is in Europe but its intentions are to go to the USA too.The biggest challenge we faced was to get our first clients. For that, we developed free projects so we proved that we can work together as a team and we can make it done. I learned to wear multiple hats during this initial phase of the company:- managing the company (administrative tasks)- promoting and selling outsourcing services- doing business analysis for projects- project management- coding using python/django and Javascript frameworks like VuejsEach lead represented a new challenge because clients demands are not the same. I learned how to listen and to look in detail for each request, how to became empathic with client business. Our projects are applications that have public users or internal ones and for that I became more aware about the User Experience. To make sure that the applications are easy to be used we collected feedbacks and implemented improvements.I also code Python/Django and Vuejs. Projects I worked on:- Habitam - a startup to manage homeowners associations- NGO membership - membership platform for volunteers. The platform managed around 300.000 volunteers registrations- Collins - evaluation team management platform for Real Estate Agency- 4b.letsdoitromania.ro - ticketing platform for registering legal notifications at local authorities in Romania based on trash piles reported on a mobile phone

Let's Do It, Romania! is a part of global movement Let's Do It, World!I learned how to work with volunteers, how to have multiple roles.

I had an idea about a platform to be used by members of homeowners associations for managing home expenses: utilities, rents or to view different reports about water, electricity and heat consumptions. I knew that I could not do it alone so I convinced people around me to join the team and to build this platform. We did it. We had the first version and after that, we had a soft launch. Unfortunately we did not have many users in the first months as we expected. I spent money on ads and nothing happened. We had to close the business but I think the lesson I learned was that we should have gone directly to managers of each homeowner association. In this way, we would have real feedback from them and we could sell it better. For this project my responsibilities were:- Brand development- Business management- Designed and developed the platform using Python, Django and JS technologies- Installed and maintained web and database server
