Challenges

Eco-Friendly Innovation

The primary challenge was to design a solution that could replace the ubiquitous paper business cards, minimizing environmental impact while preserving the personal touch and professionalism of networking. 

Cross-Platform Consistency

Ensuring a seamless, native-like experience on both iOS and Android was critical. The app needed to function flawlessly across devices, providing users with a consistent interface and performance. 

Real-Time Customization

Bumpy required a system that allowed users to create and customize digital business cards with instant previews. The interface needed to be intuitive and responsive to various customization options. 

Data Security and Privacy

Given the sensitive nature of the information shared through digital business cards, implementing strong security protocols to protect user data was imperative. 

Scalable Backend Architecture

Handling potentially large amounts of user data, while maintaining fast retrieval and storage times, required a robust backend solution capable of scaling as the user base grows.
