Experience

NEO SOCIAL is a social fitness platform built to help people create a real community that supports their wellbeing and the needs of the spaces they belong to. I led the full stack development of this product, designing and shipping a thoughtful experience for both individual members and studio partners. Smart onboarding and authentication I built a flexible sign in system that supports email, phone, and invite only access. Onboarding adapts based on whether someone is a guest, a first time member, or a returning studio lead, so each user starts with the right flow. Deep social assessment I built a secure, interactive 57 question assessment that helps users reflect on their social needs. Responses are analyzed with a custom set of social wellness metrics to generate actionable insights. Events, content, and ticketing I implemented content discovery and event creation tools that make it easy to connect offline. Users can create events, send invites, add tickets to Apple Wallet, and receive email confirmations. Connecting through groups I shipped the core social layer, including contact importing and friend grouping, to help users build and maintain meaningful connections over time. Studio dashboard with real time insights I built a studio admin dashboard with Stripe integration and real time analytics for ticket sales and engagement, giving partners clear visibility into growth and community health. logo

I led and contributed to multiple custom mobile applications for Restoration Hardware, focused on logistics, hospitality, and high quality user experiences. RH Routing App I built a real time delivery navigation app using React Maps and the Bing API, including geofencing, voice guided navigation, and a dynamic delivery checklist. I integrated backend APIs to pull delivery itineraries and plotted routes using live GPS data. CMS and food ordering I built a CMS backed in app food ordering workflow to support streamlined ordering and delivery coordination. RH Guesthouse App I contributed to the Dine 2.0 and Iceos apps, delivering features for smart room control, food service, and concierge style experiences. Additional contributions I debugged and optimized React Native apps on a six person team, consistently shipping polished, user friendly releases on tight timelines. logo

I contributed to high impact healthcare applications as part of a cross functional team of six developers. I shipped features for the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois app, including Legal Guardian support and behavioral health plan functionality. I later transitioned onto the Digital Rx app, helping maintain feature parity and a seamless user experience across platforms. I mentored junior developers in Swift best practices and modern iOS patterns, influenced architecture decisions on complex projects, and worked closely with designers to deliver pixel perfect interfaces. I also partnered with backend teams to keep data integrations stable and reliable, while staying current on iOS tools, frameworks, and platform changes. logo
