You will be working with one of the most skilled UX/UI designers in London, transforming their ideas into a working application.

 We love working as a team, making decision together, and solving challenges as one. We focus on new technologies, trying to make our code, and in the end the final product, as elegant and efficient as possible.

We put a lot of focus on clean and well tested code. A lot of discussions and suggestions will be done through the PR, because for us this is the best way to learn, even for the most experiences programmers.

That’s why we will encourage everyone to be a part of this and have a meaningful opinion.
