Backend & Roll-out Engineer - Freelance @ Decathlon

Decathlon is a world-famous French company.In recent years, Decathlon has started a new digital transition. As an external consultant, my mission was to prepare this transition by upgrading the Decathlon Shopping App to the the challenges of tomorrow.In a team of 2 people, our objective is to contact each countries that would like to use the app. According to their needs, we planned a roadmap of 3 months to deploy the app. This roadmap separated into 4 points :

Introducing the app

We have set up a file to centralize all information about the country (legal constraint, loyalty program, stock availabilities, checkout integration, ...)

Carry out the technical part

When all information is filled, I do required development to add the country to our backend (login & stock connection, homefeed instantiation, ...).Then I have to setup the front part of the app. So I do a development both for IOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) to connect the front to the backend.

Lastly I do an internal test phase with my team.

Following the testing phase

Once the app is tested on our side, we launch the beta testing phase with the country. The group is composed by around 10 people. During 2 weeks, we will accompany them to test the customer journey and all of the features of the app.

Final deployment

At the end, when the application is ready to be launched, we organize an event with the country leader and his marketing team and we launch the app.Once the app is tested on our side, we launch the beta testing phase with the country. The group is composed by around 10 people. During 2 weeks, we will accompany them to test the customer journey and all of the features of the app.
