The Challenge
As Skipr grew, they needed to stay at the forefront of performance and user experience. Their front-end codebase required a complete revamp to keep up with modern technologies, while their back-end systems needed to scale with their expanding user base.

The key challenge was maintaining technical continuity and driving platform innovation, all while ensuring smooth leadership handovers.
