During my time with the disutils team, we also took on commissions to
build custom bots. One such project was the
Ceebs Project. Ceebs is a platform
developed for Monash University that enables students to create or
accept delivery tasks from fellow students, allowing them to earn money
in their free time. I initially served as the lead developer, where I
was responsible for designing and implementing all core features over
the course of several months.
As I began to experience burnout while balancing both commission work
and my responsibilities with disutils, I brought another developer from
Monash University onto the project. He showed strong interest in the
platform, and from that point onward, I mentored him and collaborated
closely with him, which significantly streamlined the development
process.
Once he became comfortable with the codebase, I entrusted him with full
ownership of the project and stepped away. After working on Ceebs for
approximately five months, I felt my personal growth had plateaued and
that I could no longer dedicate sufficient time to my own projects.
Nevertheless, Ceebs was a highly engaging project, and I’m grateful to
Lachlan Nguyen for the opportunity. Through this experience, I gained
valuable hands-on knowledge in integrating multiple APIs and systems,
including Stripe, user verification workflows, and developing a custom
asynchronous API that interfaced with Airtable.
