Ready Pay / Ready People — Discovery & API Mapping

Discovery and delivery coordination for ReadyTech's Ready People mobile app (part of the Ready Pay workforce platform) — mapping two legacy HR systems into a new BFF layer, running user research, and supporting the UX prototyping process.

  • Coordinated Agile delivery across the Product Manager, UX Designer, Tech Lead and developers through stand-ups, sprint planning, requirements elicitation, epic/story elaboration and retros.
  • Ran initial and continuous discovery: studied the competitor landscape for product-market fit and mapped the current state of two existing systems (H*3 and Z***n) that the mobile app needed to integrate with, converting findings into a feature roadmap and detailed epic slices.
  • Mapped API endpoints and data models across both source systems (payslip listing, PDF download, pay-period and pay-summary fields) and modelled the BFF request/response flow in sequence diagrams — surfacing field-mapping mismatches early (e.g. H*3's integer pay-run ID vs Z***n's GUID string) so the team could plan around them ahead of build.
  • Participated in user interview sessions to surface real pain points with the existing H*3/Z***n experience, and supported the UX Designer's prototyping process — page-per-feature Figma structure, state variants, transitional/narrative flows, and reusable components.
  • Delivered consistent sprint value shippable to the client and shipped the alpha release to ReadyTech's internal users with no critical defects, helping the team meet its OKRs.
