2021

CTJ was launched in late 2021. The team spent their time defining requirements, securing the domain name, and creating initial visual assets like the logo and landing page UX design.

2022

CTJ commenced user research, conducting interviews with key stakeholders to inform platform development, finalized the projects Design System, backed infrastructure, and user flow. The team also made headway designing each page of the product, including the CMS system (the administrative input page that product leads will use to upload their projects open roles).

2023

CTJ successfully launched the project landing page and a visually engaging "coming soon" page to generate early interest and build anticipation for the full platform launch. Our product stakeholder requested us to include a new requirement to the project that would support organizational goals alongside two other projects (People Depot and VRMS). We launched a staging site for the homepage.

2024

Stay tuned for our accomplishments of this year.

2021 In late 2021, CTJ embarked on its journey, laying the groundwork for a transformative platform to help prospective Hack for LA volunteers find interdisciplinary projects that will be useful for their career development while contributing to positive civic impact.

2022 CTJ initiated user research, conducting insightful interviews with key stakeholders aka our volunteers to shape platform development. The team advanced the site's design and development, aiming to create a high-quality, user-friendly platform.

2023 CTJ successfully launched the project landing page and a visually engaging "coming soon" page to generate early interest and build anticipation for the full platform launch. To further support our volunteers' career development, our product stakeholder requested a new requirement in the form of a Skills Matrix. This dynamic Matrix would help volunteers assess their skills throughout their Hack for LA journey.

2024 Stay tuned for our accomplishments of this year.
