Prosecco Project

Picture it: the year is 2018. I was working for an ISP, a household name, and the impact of what I was doing had visibility and prestige.

Whilst most of what I'd done thus far had been small though important features, the opportunity to take a bit more ownership over something brand new came along. I could decide the stack, put it on the latest chosen platform and really get stuck into the modern libraries (of the time) in a way I hadn't previously.

Project Prosecco was the very thing. Prosecco was the project name with the idea that Prosecco (budget) is not quite as expensive as Champagne (premium), so I formulated the brand Ruby to offer a more affordable option to consumers.

Sadly this was not to pan out and you can read more about that here.

The Ruby branding was almost fully realised, wonderful work from one of my favourite former colleagues Crystal Nunn, and a lot of the templates built before the plug was pulled. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. The leadership team decided that forecast value was not worth the cost of completing and so the project was shelved.
