Intermission - GrowthHelper

Situation:

• As the first project with no senior engineering mentor available, our startup aimed to build a B2B/B2C platform that matched survey interviewees with clients.

Task:

• Take proactive ownership of the frontend product lifecycle—from UI design in Figma to development using Flutter and AWS infrastructure—while collaborating closely with one backend engineer to launch the MVP.

Action:

• Designed the complete UI/UX flow on Figma and built the mobile client using Flutter to cover all core user journeys.
• Initially completed and validated the core MVP logic independently using only Flutter and Firebase.
• Recruited a backend team member for product expansion, collaborating seamlessly to co-design Swagger API specifications and core database logic for a successful end-to-end integration.

Result:

• Successfully completed the MVP flow and achieved the official product launch, demonstrating strong ownership and effective teamwork in a resource-constrained environment.

Situation:

• Beyond technical launch, the platform needed to prove its real-world market fit, generate revenue, and attract a sustainable user base.

Task:

• As a Co-Founder, contribute to business strategy and ensure the technical architecture could handle early user acquisition and monetization efforts.

Action:

• Iterated rapidly on user feedback, deploying timely updates to refine the matching logic to better serve B2B/B2C client needs.

Result:

• Secured $20,000 in early revenue and grew the platform to over 1,000 active users.
• Won the prestigious Dongguk University President’s Excellence Award in recognition of the project’s technical execution and business impact.
