I built an entire enterprise platform, from scratch, alone - now I'm growing it
Hi All, I worked for years in Corporate America as a 9 to 5 cubicle monkey. I saw how much revenue a lot of these big enterprises were racking in. And I thought to myself after years of growing their products, why not just build one myself? It doesn't have to be big, hell, I don't plan to knock anyone down from their castle. I just want some of the crumbs! So, I decided to build a full enterprise…
Once upon a time, a corporate worker decided to leave the 9 to 5 grind behind. After years of witnessing the financial success of big enterprises, they had an idea: build an entire enterprise platform from scratch, all by themselves. The plan was simple - create a product to share with the world, without needing to understand every intricate detail. Little did they know, it would take five years and countless technical hurdles to finally launch.
In their journey, the individual learned vital skills such as UX design, cloud architecture, UI design, and even marketing. After battling various technical issues, the platform was finally launched on social media. Despite some technical errors, the launch was a success. The platform, known as MyITContracts.com, initially targeted contractors, but soon expanded to cater to full-time roles as well.
This comprehensive platform provided detailed information about jobs, including remote or hybrid work options, salary expectations, and interview scheduling. It also facilitated laptop shipping and interview availability, making it a one-stop-shop for recruiters and job seekers alike. While the platform was still in progress, the individual had already built a small bill to maintain it.
As the platform grew, the individual planned to add full analytics and reporting using d3.js, once enough data was gathered. The next challenge would be marketing, as they prepared to see how the general public would react. With this newfound knowledge and experience, the individual aimed to continue growing their enterprise, one step at a time.
