Owns core product engineering for a privacy-sensitive iOS social app spanning mobile architecture, authentication, real-time data, and interaction state design.
- Built the native iOS product in React Native and TypeScript, implementing phone authentication, private matching, anonymous chat, scheduled identity reveals, and Unhook workflows.
- Designed privacy-critical state logic for duplicate prevention, stale-access controls, hidden pre-reveal states, and a three-crush anonymity threshold.
- Led the move from Expo Go to a custom development build and architected the backend transition from FastAPI and MongoDB to Firestore, Cloud Functions, security rules, and real-time messaging.
