Working across the full stack: Python/Django on the backend, React on web and React Native on mobile. Currently on the creator platform.
- Own performance and reliability for the creator app across the web app, Django backend and React Native shell, making it faster to open and more stable for creators.
- Handle the Android and React Native upgrades needed to stay on the Play Store, and fix long-standing crashes and deep-link issues.
- Improve load-time instrumentation so the team has numbers it can trust, and set up end-to-end testing with Maestro so releases depend less on manual QA.
- On the shopping app (1M MAU, v1, since sunset), built Python/Django REST APIs and Celery pipelines, and shipped Stories, Filters, Creator Discovery and Notifications.
- Cut startup time from 4s to under 1.5s and CPU and memory use by about 50%, and optimized shorts/reels playback.
