• Led a cross-discipline team of 5 developers, a designer, and project manager to architect, build, and maintain cross-platform React Native applications for over 10 distinct company intellectual properties.

• I architected and currently maintain a GraphQL proxy API in AWS that optimizes network requests to reduce data transfer and usage by 90% for mobile users.

• Implemented automated build/deploy/release strategies using CI/CD tools like Fastlane and Github Actions to reduce time-to-market after feature completion.

• Developed and deployed a microservice written in Go (Golang) for real-time event updates using AWS SQS message queues, allowing ALL users (mobile and web) the ability to see live score updates without needing to manually or programmatically refresh.

• Co-led the initiative to bring the Grindr mobile app experience to the web as a browser-based version of the popular LGBTQ+ dating app. This served as a secondary source of revenue for the company, as well as providing a more discrete way for our customers to use the platform/service in places where simply having the app on your device is unsafe and possibly illegal.

• I personally built/implemented features such as Incognito Mode, onboarding and authentication fl ow, subscription paywall, and paywalled Advanced Filtering features.

• Led the initiative to implement Playwright end-to-end testing to reduce potential release bugs, increase test coverage, as well as to reduce time-to-market through the QA process by assisting the QA team with test results and artifacts.
