My Contribution
Being part of the Jaxl Team, I have focused on the following things at JAXL:

 

Process Followed
Jaxl was a start-up of the alumni of IIT Guwahati. Being part of the team of Jaxl, I had to focus on the Design Operations, which was quite an up-hill task. This was also my first big responsibility. Every design went through the process of ideation by the team members, followed by wireframing and User Interface design. As I was working remotely, we used an SVN setup to sync all our data to the server.

Tools and Technologies

What I have learnt
At various phases, we had huge amount of pressure as we had to meet the quick deadlines. JAXL helped me improve my skills of multi-tasking and time management very well. I can now say that I am extremely reliable in terms of working in pressurised situations.
