Case Study: Streamlining Time Management for Teladoc – Devot.com

Introduction

During my time at Devot.com, I worked on a high-impact project for Teladoc, a global telemedicine company. The goal was to develop a global date-time system and timesheet calendar, ensuring seamless timezone support for international users. This was a mission-critical feature that required precise handling of timezones, user availability, and scheduling.
