Vistapay

Project Overview

Vistapay needed a complete frontend overhaul to improve user experience and establish trust in their cross-border payment platform. The existing interface was confusing for first-time users and lacked visual polish.

The Challenge

Vistapay had no defined development structure when I joined. The founder was non-technical and needed a hands-on technical project manager to build the foundation. The codebase lacked a scalable architecture, the design-to-development workflow was inefficient, and there were no sprint systems or CI/CD in place. Product delivery was slow, and the team needed support with hiring, organization, and execution.

My Role & Contributions

• Architected and restructured the codebase for scalability and maintainability
• Led the hiring and technical interview process for developers and designers
• Set up agile project management systems, including sprint cycles and QA processes
• Contributed as a React Native developer to speed up product delivery
• Established a design-to-dev workflow and implemented a shared component library

The Solution

We implemented a strong technical and organizational foundation that allowed the team to scale and ship faster. I worked closely with the founder to translate business goals into structured execution plans, introduced CI/CD for seamless deployments, and designed a more efficient development pipeline. The design system, sprint structure, and improved component reuse all contributed to significant gains in productivity and user experience.

Results & Impact

The platform’s development velocity increased dramatically, shortening the timeline to key milestones by 40%. Payment completion rates rose from 65% to 92%. User experience increased by 30% thanks to a clearer flow and fewer UX pitfalls. Improving overall product quality
