      We had created a conceptual framework to authenticate and verify the provenance, transaction history, and authorship of blockchain-based NFTs. Talentica was brought on board to test and refine the concept from both functional and engineering perspectives, and later to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) aligned with the agreed specifications and constraints.

      For several years, the team was composed entirely of Talentica contractors. Since January 2022, I have been directly managing them. The Talentica team handled the admin tooling backend, which included multiple Python Flask services with Postgres and Elasticsearch. These services operated in a service-oriented architecture deployed on Kubernetes, using Istio for service mesh and Spinnaker for deployments.

      We originally designed something simple to test a market that quickly blossomed. We were at a crossroads of failing due to demand and not being able to supply or technically move forward. We partnered with Codiant to help write our next chapter. We began the journey by looking for a good code shop that we could work and communicate with. What we found instead was a partner in all facets. Codiant’s team share in our vision and mission. We’ve developed our App, website, and marketing through the firm and have been able to increase our footprint. I highly recommend Codiant for your next project if you are looking for a great partnership and growth.
