Summary

Technical Director at Baby Point App Ltd, Jan 2019 to Apr 2020. Led product and platform development for an offline-first mobile app, delivering a geospatial content engine built for constrained environments.

Responsibilities

  • Architected a geohash-based REST API to deliver region-specific parenting content with CDN edge distribution, enabling efficient cache control and sub-second mobile rendering, with content stored in Google Cloud Storage and served via Google Cloud CDN
  • Designed a SQLite-backed spatial search engine for mobile devices, enabling fast, offline queries against geoJSON datasets — built once and shared across React Native and Progressive Web App clients, with Firebase/Firestore providing real-time sync and offline persistence on device
  • Developed a unified data-fetching and business logic layer shared between web and native apps, promoting code reuse, consistency, and resilience under poor connectivity
  • Delivered ingestion and publishing pipelines for geoJSON content, with server-side partitioning and metadata tagging to support low-latency delivery
  • Supported a rapid MVP cycle — going from zero to 10K organic users in under 6 months — through lean product development and continuous stakeholder feedback
  • Operated hands-on across backend (Node.js on Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions), mobile (React Native + Firebase/Firestore), and frontend (PWA), applying full-stack generalist execution from data to UX

Outcomes
