Work Experience
As a Lead Mobile Developer at JPG Store, I'm responsible for leading the development of our mobile app using React Native. I work closely with our team to design, build and maintain a high-performance and user-friendly app. My main focus is to ensure our app is reliable, scalable and well-structured.
I have a deep understanding of React Native and its ecosystem, and I make use of the latest technologies and frameworks like react-query, storybooks, flashList, hooks and other tools to deliver high-quality and responsive apps.
I also conduct code reviews and contribute to the development of our automated testing and continuous integration pipeline, built with GitHub actions. Thus allowing us to automate the release process, making it faster and more efficient, and publishing to different environments with ease.
Worked with Apple Retail, coding in different projects that involved App Store experiences. I contributed to different systems that consisted of multiple iOS devices connecting with each other, building a mesh of devices using Apple's proprietary technology. The devices are meant to be kept on the wall, so challenges regarding memory issues && performance had to be taken care of to ensure a smooth experience. The technologies used consist mainly on Swift, targeting iPhone and iPads.
