I’m Chuan Qiao, a mobile and software developer based in Auckland, and I enjoy turning product briefs and user flows into reliable apps that ship. I’ve built and maintained three apps live on the App Store, and I like working closely with teammates to make pragmatic decisions, document them clearly, and keep quality high through testing. My recent focus is mobile development with React Native and native Swift modules, backed by well-structured APIs and cloud services. I build offline-first experiences, trace issues to their root causes, and use AI coding tools with careful review before changes go out—so updates are safe, measurable, and easy for users to rely on.…I’m Chuan Qiao, a mobile and software developer based in Auckland, and I enjoy turning product briefs and user flows into reliable apps that ship.

Software Engineer at Awake NZ

November 1, 2025 - Present

Built and shipped DeveloperCards (iOS/iPad) using React Native (Expo) with a C#/.NET 8 REST API on AWS. Implemented offline-first local storage plus a deterministic persistent event queue for sync and progress merging across devices. Created 71 screens, wrote 75 mobile test files (Vitest/RTL), and added CI typechecking to prevent regressions. Took the app through App Store review (including privacy manifest) and managed phased releases. Maintained via OTA updates pinned to native builds so most changes bypass full binary review. Also worked on DoubleCamera: a React Native UI with a Swift/AVFoundation multi-camera capture core (AVCaptureMultiCamSession) connected through a native module, and a Python backend on Azure for login and entitlement. Built supporting UI flows with bilingual English/Chinese copy and integrated remote config and redemption/membership features.

Software Engineer (Paid Intern) at Dovetale NZ

April 1, 2025 - June 1, 2025

Collaborated with front-end and ML teammates on a workflow for an ML-powered sports video analysis platform. Built AWS Lambda pipeline stages for validated uploads, state transitions, and invoking SageMaker jobs via SQS. Added failure recovery with integrity checks and DLQ reprocessing to prevent costly downstream ML job failures. Proposed and delivered moving inference from an always-on SageMaker Studio instance to parameterized SageMaker Processing jobs packaged as Docker images in AWS ECR, improving cost efficiency by running compute per job.

Software Engineer at Lixide CN

November 1, 2022 - April 1, 2024

Developed a Spring Boot backend for a mobile-first English voice assignment platform and web admin console. Built REST APIs consumed by mobile and web clients. Rebuilt legacy admin features in a small team (under five) while running old and new systems in parallel and verifying behavior parity during cutover. Implemented role-based access control (RBAC) using Spring Security and added per-user data isolation for secure multitenant access patterns.

Architectural Designer at Xinda Architectural Ltd

March 1, 2013 - February 1, 2022

Automated BIM/CAD documentation checks using C# commands (Revit API, AutoCAD .NET API) and Dynamo scripts to batch-validate parameters and update title-block attributes. Built Python utilities (ezdxf, openpyxl, pandas) to extract layer/text/block data from DXF files and support drawing index, and schedule review for doors and windows—reducing manual effort and improving consistency.
