What gets decided in the meeting, I get into production.

Senior full stack developer. Five years on systems that are already running when I arrive: a national land registry, a port authority, the web accounts of international brands.

Who I am

Itokiana Rajohnson, from Antananarivo. I work on systems that are already in service when I arrive: a national land registry mid-overhaul, port applications in production, the web accounts of international brands.

I write code, and I keep things moving between the client, the testers and the development team: gathering requirements, writing specifications, estimating effort, tracking fixes through to a stable release. I come alone when the job fits one person. When it does not, there are three of us: NEXTRI, a collective of engineers in Antananarivo.

How I work

Framing the need

Ministry of Urban Planning · via IGN FI

What the client says in a meeting becomes technical specifications and effort estimates. Across more than five sprints, those estimates were what the team planned against.

Delivering on top of what exists

BICI · Antananarivo

HR and stock management modules built into an existing, undocumented codebase, with no interruption to the service in production. Test scenarios written, fixes tracked through to closure.

Holding a distributed team together

RAPP IO Mauritius

Coordinating, with a colleague, the Madagascar team (eight people) on the Mercedes-Benz, Smart and Pampers accounts: the quality of their work and their technical support, and the link between Madagascar and Mauritius.

The thread

Across all three, the same place: between two sides with no common language, that someone has to hold together for the delivery to land.

  • The testers and the developers

What I have delivered

Ministry of Urban Planning, Housing and the Living EnvironmentCôte d'Ivoire · via IGN FIJanuary 2024 → present

SIF & SIGFU portal

Building the business features of the national land registry system and its public portal. Rebuilt the online application module: from a single request per plot and per applicant, to handling several applicants and several plots, in line with how the client actually works. And, alongside the code, the bridge between the test team and the developers, so that what ships holds.
