Full Stack ROR Legal Platform Development
Case Study: Building Baro Technologies' Legal Platform
Baro Technologies approached me to build a legal platform serving users in the U.S. and Ethiopia. They needed a solution that would connect lawyers with clients, streamlining legal consultations, payment processing, and content sharing. I led the development team and built the platform using Ruby on Rails, integrating advanced features and modern UI/UX elements to create a seamless user experience.
Baro Technologies specializes in creating digital platforms for the legal industry. Their goal was to create an easy-to-use, secure platform that caters to the unique needs of users in both the U.S. and Ethiopia. They required robust backend architecture to manage users, content, and payments, as well as a flexible front end to serve a diverse user base.

Challenges
One of the key challenges was localizing the platform for two different markets with distinct legal systems, languages, and user expectations. Another challenge was integrating a secure and compliant payment system through Stripe for both regions. We also had to build a scalable Q&A section that allowed clients to ask legal questions and receive responses from verified lawyers, while implementing user reviews and ratings.
Workflow
We adopted an Agile approach with regular standups and sprint planning sessions to keep communication clear. I worked closely with Baro's team of front-end developers, UI/UX designers, and content creators. I led the development, conducted code reviews, and ensured continuous delivery of updates. This allowed us to handle blockers and implement feedback quickly.
Results
The platform was successfully launched and is now live, serving both U.S. and Ethiopian users. It has simplified the process of finding lawyers, making payments, and leaving reviews. The collaboration with Baro Technologies is ongoing, as we continue to add new features and improve the user experience. The platform is well received and is helping connect legal professionals with clients more efficiently.
Delivered high-quality work ahead of schedule and maintained clear, effective communication throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and strong technical skills greatly contributed to the success of our project.
