Client

El País is a flagship media brand of Grupo PRISA and a major reference in Spanish-language journalism. With global influence, it covers news, politics, and culture, offering quality journalism across web, print, and mobile channels. The mobile app brings real-time news and curated articles directly to readers’ devices.

Problem:

El País needed urgent support in their iOS development team to deliver a critical feature under tight deadlines during the summer period. Reinforcements were required to meet delivery expectations without compromising quality.

Solution:

I joined the project for a four-month collaboration, actively contributing to the development of several key features. Among them, the most notable was the implementation of the in-app comments module—allowing users to engage with published articles directly from the app.

My work ensured timely delivery, code quality, and seamless integration with existing systems, helping the team meet a critical milestone on schedule.
