The Product

BrokerNow is CaixaBank's stock trading app, a specialized environment built for active investors to trade and manage their investments across national and international markets. Users can trade shares, warrants, and ETFs, check their portfolio's value and manage their orders at any time, and personalize their workspace with watchlists and favorite securities.

Created as a full redesign of the bank's previous trading experience with input from more than a hundred investors, it brings all the market information an investor needs into a single, fast environment, and it is accessible directly from the main CaixaBank app.

My Role

As Senior Android Engineer at Indra, CaixaBank's technology partner, I worked on the BrokerNow Android app. Unlike other projects, I did not interact with the client directly; the team worked through an internal Scrum Master who reported to me, which made me the reference point for the work on the Indra side.

Development and Architecture

I contributed to the development of the Android app, applying Clean Architecture and the MVP pattern to keep the codebase scalable and maintainable, and delivering features across the trading domain.

Internal Team Delivery

BrokerNow was developed entirely in-house, built 100% by Indra, with its release handled through CaixaBank. I did not deal with the client myself: communication flowed from the client to our Scrum Master and from the Scrum Master to me, which kept me as the anchor for the team's day-to-day work on the Indra side.

Code Quality and Reliability

As with any banking and trading product, the work followed a rigorous process to maintain quality. Because financial apps are highly sensitive, every change had to clear strict compliance and reliability standards to keep the app dependable for investors operating in real markets.
