JamDoughnut

VeryCreatives & James Walker

James came to us with an idea. Iterating over the course of the next 2 years, with just the 5 of us, our amazing team at VeryCreatives turned that idea into the UK's most popular cashback application, loved by hundreds of thousands of people, processing millions of pounds each month and saving thousands daily for those who use it.

FAQs

How long did you work on this project for?

I worked on this project for most of my time at VeryCreatives! Starting in early 2020, I focused on JamDoughnut until my departure from the company in late 2022.

What were your responsibilities?

While being solely responsible for the Android application, I was also actively helping out on the technical project management side of things. From collaborating with 3rd party providers, designing backend systems to validating UI designs, I helped out wherever I could.

Who was in your team?

We were a team of five. One developer for each mobile platform, a backend engineer, a UI/UX designer and a project manager. One of the best teams I've had the pleasure to work with, to date.

Favourite moments?

After going public, I still vividly remember a review stating that she's a single mom, and we've helped save her nearly 300 pounds this month. Knowing what we made actively helped people was awesome.

What about challenges?

Besides having to change gears a lot when we were still figuring out the MVP phase, I'd say the biggest challange was dealing with customers' OpenBanking data. From adhering to secure authentication processes to making sure we only ask for data we really need, it was all very meticulous work.

Can I check out the project myself?

Please do! You can find more at www.jamdoughnut.com.
