  • Joined as the third mobile developer and successfully transitioned the native apps to React Native, utilizing a native bridge that allowed React Native code to run within the existing native app. This migration resulted in a fully functional React Native app over time.
  • Parkable received recognition by winning the 2018 Deloitte Fast 50 Rising Star award, highlighting its rapid growth and success in the market.
  • Led the development of two component libraries for React and React Native, ensuring consistency and reusability across both web and mobile platforms.
  • Optimized the performance of the React Native Google Maps library by creating a custom bridge that connected it to the native Google Maps SDK. This improvement enhanced speed and responsiveness in displaying parking locations on the map.
  • Developed key features related to public parking, including searching, booking, payment, and review functionalities. Additionally, played a crucial role in the initial implementation of the B2B parking product, allowing businesses to manage their parking spaces and offer them to employees or customers. This product has achieved significant market dominance and success since its launch.

During my tenure at Translate Digital, I was an integral part of the mobile development team for the Parkable app, a platform designed for discovering and booking parking spaces. As the third mobile developer on the project, I took on the challenge of transitioning the existing native apps to React Native, a cross-platform framework that utilizes JavaScript. To accomplish this, I built a native bridge that allowed the integration of React Native code within the native app. This approach enabled us to gradually replace substantial portions of the app with React Native code, ultimately achieving a fully functional React Native app

Notably, the Parkable app received recognition for its exceptional growth and success, winning the prestigious 2018 Deloitte Fast 50 Rising Star award.

In addition to my technical responsibilities, I championed the development of two component libraries, one for React and one for React Native. These libraries ensured consistent design patterns and facilitated reusability across both web and mobile platforms. I also focused on optimizing the performance of the React Native Google Maps library, which was used to display parking locations on a map. By creating a custom bridge that connected the library to the native Google Maps SDK, I significantly enhanced its speed and responsiveness.

Beyond these technical achievements, I played a pivotal role in building out key features related to public parking, including functionalities such as searching, booking, payment, and reviews of parking spaces. Furthermore, I contributed to the initial implementation of the B2B parking product, enabling businesses to manage their parking spaces and offer them to employees or customers. This product enjoyed tremendous success and quickly established dominance in the market since its launch.

Throughout my time at Translate Digital, I demonstrated a strong commitment to technical excellence, driving significant advancements in the Parkable app. These contributions were instrumental in its widespread adoption and success within the parking industry.
