The Challenge:
Inheriting Tech Debt
GenoStories arrived as a fragmented, unstable legacy project. With critical bugs preventing publication and a codebase nearing collapse, the goal was twofold: immediate stabilization for market launch and a strategic roadmap for total scalability.
Stabilization, Deployment, and Growth
We performed a deep-tissue code audit, fixing critical architectural flaws in the Flutter frontend and Laravel backend. Bytenana didn't just fix bugs; we optimized the deployment pipeline to ensure a seamless transition to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
The GenoStories Ecosystem

The Client (mobile)

The Engine (Backend)
