Cloomein InTouch

In 2018 I Co-Founded a startup company with two other Senior Software Developers, Miguel and Jason, and together we developed an app called Cloomein InTouch. The idea behind the app was that it allowed businesses to send updates to their clients on the progress of the service they were conducting. For example, Domino's Pizza has a pizza tracker that tells you when your pizza is being prepared, cooked, served, and then delivered. Our app idea was bringing this concept to every business and making it extremely affordable.

We worked on this for a full year and a half, until approximately the end of 2019. By this time we had "pivoted" our startup to aim at the tourism industry and put all our efforts into that. Unfortunately, just after we had started tackling the tourism industry, the Bushfire season started and effectively killed the local tourism industry. We then made a decision to make our last ditch efforts trying to focus on the international tourism industry. Disaster struck once again with Covid-19 forcing countries to stop travel and close down.

I look back on this startup as a massive learning experience, one that I'll never forget. It showed me how little I know, and taught me a lot about myself. I'd like to think that one day I'll be able to try another startup with all the experience I gained from this one.
