The bootcamp equips junior mobile developers with production-level skills in architecture, quality tooling, and Mercado Libre's internal platforms like Fury.
About This Article
Mercado Libre had junior mobile developers who hadn't worked with production-grade architecture patterns, quality assurance tools, or internal platforms like Fury that the company uses across Latin America.
Lilia Correa's team built an intensive bootcamp that taught RestClient, Android and iOS development, ML libraries, mobile architecture basics, data storage options, and how to work with actual IT teams using their estimation practices and rituals.
Graduates from Wave 3, including Ezequiel Caamaño, found the bootcamp changed how they approached their work. They were able to contribute much more to their teams than they thought they could when they started.
