Mobile App Team Lead at myFirst SDN. BHD.

December 1, 2024 - Present

Led a team of 7 Flutter developers on the myFirst mobile app (100K+ downloads), driving feature development and architectural improvements while mentoring through code reviews and pair programming to ensure scalability and app stability. Designed a custom WiFi-hotspot protocol to pair the app with an in-house camera device, enabling real-time relayed edited photo grids from phone to hardware with City hash-based integrity checks for data verification. Built custom Flutter method channels in Swift and Kotlin to bridge native iOS/Android functionality (including integrity hashing) where no Flutter packages existed. Built CI/CD pipelines to automate deployments and accelerate release cycles for reliable rollouts. Built an Instagram-style social module from the ground up (feed, posts, voice-message commenting) with an offline-first caching architecture from data model to UI, enabling browsing and queueing actions without connectivity.
