Team building for companies that rarely share a room.

Remote teams had plenty of software for tasks, but little that helped colleagues know one another.

I built TeamBuddy around a team directory, interest-based clubs, and conversation prompts inside Slack.

• Clubs over channels. Interest spaces gave people a reason to reveal something beyond their role.
• Prompts with context. Each club had questions tied to its specific interest.
• Deep Slack integration. The product used events, a custom home tab, onboarding, and bot notifications.
• One application layer. Inertia connected Laravel and React without introducing a separate API for the MVP.

I handled validation, MVP scope, Slack distribution, interface design, onboarding, and production engineering. The product had to prompt a useful interaction; another employee directory was not enough.
