VOXI

VOXI is a startup mobile network originally launched (and marketed) to target under-30s by offering unlimtied social data. As a front-end lead supporting its launch, we were under incredible pressure to get it live for specific milestones including a Love Island ad and a major launch party.

What shipped

  • voxi.co.uk website
    • Reusable front-end React component library
    • Scalable back-end integration through Node.js BFF middleware
    • Checkout capabilities to purchase plans

Impact

  • Time-to-market: Hit immovable date in ~12 weeks with scoped MVP and cutlist agreed daily.
  • Quality Alerts: Setup synthetic checks to keep alerted on issues
  • Operational Safety: Feature flags, runbook and rollback plans ready for release windows
  • Reusability: Themeable design system React components allowed us toggle on the brand mid-way through delivery

My role & scope

  • Stepped up to lead the front-end launch during milestone go-live
  • Set up feature flags to allow us to toggle specific features on or off during its early life
  • Led triage of critical P1 availability issue caused by infra moments before launch ad (outside my remit at the time)
