Work Experience

Mobile App Full Stack Developer at DVO Enterprises — Cook'n App
August 1, 2017 - Present
Progressed through four roles over 9 years on a 4-person engineering team (2 senior, 2 mid): began in UI and light web development, learned iOS alongside a senior engineer, independently ported the feature set to Android, and recently advanced to solo full-stack development. Designed, built, and shipped a new menu-planning feature end-to-end — front-end UI and back-end services — in a three-week sprint as sole developer, taking it from concept to production. Led the redesign of the app's Discover view (now live in production) and rebuilt the Library section (launching soon). Maintained and extended native iOS and Android codebases across SwiftUI, Kotlin, and Objective-C — supporting an app with a 4.7-star rating (3,400+ reviews), 12,000+ paid subscribers, and a #6 organic iOS ranking in its category. Created original animated mascot characters for the product that have generated cult-like engagement and deep emotional loyalty among users.
