David Fischer, a tech enthusiast with a profound passion for technology, has been immersed in the world of software programming since the tender age of twelve. Hailing from France, his journey into the realm of technology began with a fascination for Apple computer books, through which he mastered the English language alongside his burgeoning coding skills.
Following his graduation from a prestigious engineering school in France, David embarked on a remarkable career journey, traversing various tech companies, including stints at industry giants like Apple and Business Objects. It was during his tenure in the Atlassian Ecosystem that David truly found his calling, earning the esteemed title of Atlassian Community Champion for an impressive nine consecutive years.
As the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of several startups, David's innovative spirit led him to introduce Jira, a popular project management tool, to his engineering teams. However, he soon encountered the limitations of the platform and recognized the need for automation to streamline software development processes.
In 2008, David conceived the idea for Jira Misc Workflow Extensions (JMWE), a plugin designed to enhance Jira's capabilities and automate workflows. Despite its humble beginnings, JMWE gained widespread acclaim among users, prompting Atlassian to integrate its workflow extensions into their Cloud version. Recognizing the potential of JMWE, Atlassian approached David to support and commercialize the plugin, propelling it to become one of the marketplace's top-selling apps.
Driven by a vision to empower organizations working with Jira, David envisioned JMWE as a solution to automate functions and optimize processes, allowing engineers to focus on developing and shipping software seamlessly.
With the exponential growth in demand for JMWE, David sought to scale his development team rapidly. Turning to TECUNIQUE, a leading provider of dedicated workforce teams for software development and quality assurance, was a natural choice for David, given his prior positive experiences with the company.
While integrating with TECUNIQUE initially presented some challenges, David was impressed by their unwavering commitment to excellence. Known for his no-nonsense approach, David valued TECUNIQUE's proactive engagement, open communication, and dedication to solving customers' problems efficiently.
TECUNIQUE not only met David's rigorous standards in software development but also exceeded expectations in quality assurance and third-tier customer support. This dedication to excellence culminated in JMWE earning a perfect score in the Atlassian ecosystem, cementing its reputation as a top-rated app.
The partnership with TECUNIQUE proved instrumental in the expansion of Innovalog, the company behind JMWE, ultimately leading to its acquisition by Appfire in October 2020. Today, JMWE remains a cornerstone in the Atlassian Marketplace, renowned for its unparalleled workflow automation capabilities.
David attributes much of his success to the collaborative partnership with TECUNIQUE, emphasizing the importance of agile software development companies leveraging their expertise. For David, collaboration with TECUNIQUE has been pivotal to Innovalog's success, and he wholeheartedly recommends them to fellow industry players within and beyond the Atlassian ecosystem.
