Called
Security, Performance & Product Development Support for Ministry Recruitment Platform
Platform Showcase
Professional profiles connecting ministry workers with opportunities
Overview
Called is a US-based recruitment and community platform serving the Christian ministry sector. It helps job seekers — from pastors and worship leaders to ministry workers — build professional profiles, connect with others in their field, and discover new opportunities. For churches, ministries, and nonprofits, Called provides a streamlined way to post roles and reach candidates who are aligned with their mission.
Built on Bubble.io, the platform had been developed by an agency before the founders approached me for a comprehensive audit and a more hands-on, collaborative technical partnership.
Key Contributions
Comprehensive Privacy, Security & Performance Audit
- •Delivered a full privacy, security and performance audit using BuildPrint to identify risks, inefficiencies and structural issues
- •Mapped out priority improvement areas including overly permissive privacy rules, inefficient workload usage, and hardcoded API credentials
- •Evaluated database design, API configuration and backend workflows for architectural integrity
What This Means for You
A comprehensive audit gives you complete visibility into your platform's health. You'll understand exactly where risks exist, what's causing inefficiencies, and have a clear roadmap for improvements prioritized by business impact.
Clear, Actionable Improvement Roadmap
- •Converted audit findings into a phased approach to security hardening, workflow refactoring, and API restructuring
- •Outlined priorities for layout fixes and overall maintainability improvements with clear timelines
- •Gave the founders clarity on where changes were required and the business impact of each improvement
What This Means for You
I don't just identify problems — I give you a structured plan to fix them. You'll know exactly what to tackle first, why it matters, and how it aligns with your business goals, making technical decisions straightforward.
Ongoing Development Partnership
- •Established long-term collaboration as primary technical partner supporting feature development and platform evolution
- •Implemented UI/design changes, refined business and subscription models, and reworked Stripe subscription flows
- •Fixed inherited bugs, addressed performance bottlenecks, and improved workflow organization
- •Reduced WU footprint while planning new features and bringing structure to product decisions
What This Means for You
An ongoing partnership means you have a trusted technical expert who understands your platform deeply. I become an extension of your team, providing consistent support for both tactical fixes and strategic product direction.
Product Guidance from Founder Experience
- •Provided strategic product guidance informed by 20+ years of founder experience, helping validate ideas and prioritize functionality
- •Evolved the platform in line with real needs of both job seekers and organizations, focusing on user value
- •Helped founders make informed product decisions based on technical feasibility, user impact, and business goals
What This Means for You
As a former founder myself, I understand the challenges you face. I don't just build what you ask for — I help you think through product strategy, validate ideas, and make trade-offs that align technical decisions with business success.
Outcome
The audit gave the founders a comprehensive view of the platform's current state and a path forward to enhance security, stability and scalability. It became the foundation for a long-term collaboration in which I now act as their primary technical partner — improving reliability, implementing new features, refining the commercial model and supporting the development of the product's next phase.
The result is a more secure, maintainable and user-focused platform backed by an effective working relationship between founder and developer.
