Mobile App Developer

Maida Technologies
  • •App Store & Deployment Lead: Assumed sole responsibility for the company’s Apple App Store infrastructure. Managed provisioning profiles, App IDs, and store deployments not only for native/KMP apps but also for cross-functional React Native projects, bridging a critical knowledge gap within the broader engineering team.
  • •Cross-Platform Architecture: Engineered EyeChanger (Live: Eye Color Changer⁠), a cross-platform (iOS/Android) beauty application using Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Compose Multiplatform (CMP), successfully passing rigorous internal QA and deploying to both Apple and Google stores.
  • •Infrastructure Optimization & Cost Reduction: Re-architected Translingo AI Learner⁠ to eliminate dependence on a highly paid outsourced backend. Migrated massive datasets via Firebase CLI and directly integrated the OpenAI API for text, voice calls, and live translations, rendering the application entirely autonomous and zero-cost to operate.
  • •Full-Stack VPN Development: Developed a functional KMP/CMP VPN application tailored for iOS, managing Apple networking permissions. Designed and built the control plane backend utilizing FastAPI to securely provision and route WireGuard configurations from a VPS.
  • •On-Device Machine Learning: Upgraded an existing beauty application (Beauty Makeup⁠) by replacing a paid third-party API with a highly optimized, local TensorFlow Lite (TFLite) model for eye color and lens effects, significantly reducing latency and external API costs.
  • •Monetization & Maintenance: Contributed to VTON (Virtual Try-On Dress)⁠ by integrating Google Analytics, AdMob, and Firebase Remote Config, while resolving critical QA bottlenecks to stabilize the production release.
