The EconomistMobile engineer on Native iOS/Android and React Native

Jul. 2022 - Jun. 2023London, England, United KingdomI had the privilege of working with an incredible team in an environment that values productivity and work-life balance. During my time, I made a significant impact by spearheading next-level automations and collaborating with amazing, warm individuals. One of my notable contributions was developing native implementations for iOS and Android, specifically focusing on the background download feature. This feature played a crucial role in enabling offline access to the audio version of each weekly news edition. I utilized Kotlin for Android and Swift for iOS, leveraging the native capabilities of each platform. On Android, we leveraged the power of the DownloadManager, while on iOS, we utilized the URLSessionDownloadTask. Additionally, I took on the challenge of creating a React Native library from scratch for our consent management solution. To ensure optimal performance, I implemented critical components natively for iOS and Android, while exposing common functionalities through the Typescript module. This library proved to be a remarkable achievement as it was subsequently reused by other apps within The Economist, resulting in a remarkable time savings of at least 480 development hours. Throughout my tenure, I wore many hats and actively supported the teams in various capacities. I resolved native issues, addressed CI/CD challenges, enhanced build pipelines, orchestrated seamless migrations to newer versions of React Native, and resolved issues with Detox and Unit tests.

Jun. 2014 - Aug. 2020TimișoaraI was the winner of Samsung's smart watch app contest, called the Samsung Gear App Challenge, with an app I created for Tizen OS. The app was a tea timer that notified the user when their tea was ready to be served. In recent years, I have built and maintained apps for clients in the fintech and medical sectors, written functional and technical specifications for new projects, and worked with technical clients to integrate CI services and static code analysis tools. I also gave in-house technical talks on various topics, including Swift, Kotlin, JavaScript, React Native, Redux, and iOS and Android development tips. Additionally, I was part of the team that organized pro-bono courses for students on Android and React Native development.
