Overview
Having built the MVP of their first application in no-code, the team at Gaea were stuck. They needed custom functionality that off-the-shelf APIs couldn't provide.
They reached out to Terry at Aquila Studio to build this functionality and deploy to Google Cloud Platform, made accessible to their frontend application. This enabled Gaea to win their first enterprise client contract, with the biggest recycling company in the UK.
The client remarked that what we had built was remarkable; his technical team of 50 had told him that it wasn't possible in 2 years to complete what we had built. We built it in 2 days.
What we did
- Backend Development (Python)
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- No-code
- Automation
Terry is by far the most talented solutions designer, product owner and lead developer you’ll ever find in one pair of shoes. His speed and accuracy of execution is unrivalled, and I am hugely grateful for the work he has done for us. He is a pleasure to work with and I couldn’t speak more highly about him and his work output.
