6 Devs, 1 Project
I built the series website, managed production, and joined a six-developer relay to build MedPDFNow within a 12-hour combined development budget.
The Bottom Line (TL;DR)
Three roles in one public build: website creator, series production lead, and Design & Branding participant. I built the home for the series and helped turn a shared product into a coherent experience during a six-developer relay with 12 hours of combined development time.

- The relay’s total development budget.
- Each developer’s slot
- 2 hours
- My contribution
- 3 roles
- Website, series production, and Design & Branding.
The Challenge
The format was simple: six developers, one shared product, and two hours per developer. Each person inherited the previous developer’s work and moved it forward before handing it to the next person.
Making that work as a public series required more than a code repository. Viewers needed to understand the challenge, know who was building each part, find the streams, and see what the team shipped.
My responsibilities crossed the product and the production. I needed to build a coherent website for the series, manage its presentation as an ongoing build, and contribute useful design work within my own relay slot.
The Solution
I built the entire series website as a central home for the project. The Season 1 page brings together the mission, project status, participant profiles, development schedule, episode playlist, and completed-product showcase in one responsive experience.
The website uses React, TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. Its episode selector lets viewers move between the recorded sessions, while the schedule connects each participant to their role and stream. A browser-framed slideshow presents the finished product, and newsletter and developer participation paths support the community around the series.
I also managed the build series production, connecting the individual development sessions into a public story with a clear sequence and a shared destination. The website gives that story a home beyond the live broadcasts.
As developer #3, I handled Design & Branding for MedPDFNow. I worked from the frontend foundation already in place, refined the product presentation and landing-page heading contrast, and handed the evolving product forward for backend, authentication, and launch work.
The team’s selected product was a document translation prototype, presented as MedPDFNow. My product contribution sat within the relay’s 12-hour combined development budget; the series website and production were additional responsibilities.
Building the series and the product
Create the series platform
Build the website that explains the relay, introduces its developers, and makes the project’s progress easy to follow.
Manage series production
Connect the individual build sessions into a coherent public series, supported by participant roles, scheduling, and an episode archive.
Take the Design & Branding leg
Join as developer #3, work from the existing frontend, and refine the product’s presentation within the two-hour slot.
Show the completed collaboration
Bring the finished MedPDFNow showcase, recorded episodes, team credits, and public repository together for viewers.
The Results
Season 1 reached its completed-project milestone, with all six developer stages marked complete. The public series page presents MedPDFNow as the result of 12 hours of combined product development.
I delivered the series website and a lasting archive of the build: viewers can watch the episodes, explore the team and schedule, and see the finished product. My Design & Branding session is published as Episode #3.
The project demonstrates the combination of skills I bring to a collaboration: building the platform around the work, producing the public experience, and contributing directly to the product. The shared repository also records my product UI refinements and the team’s handoffs.
