Experience

Gabit

https://gabit.com/
Led the team and managed release cycles, bug fixing, and performance tuning.

I improved app performance by 2x and reduced launch time by 1.5x, achieving faster load times and FCP. I also reduced bugs, achieving a crash-free session rate of 99.93% and a crash-free user rate of 99.57%.

Avatar Crop

https://github.com/vemarav/react-native-avatar-crop
Developed a tool to crop user images from scratch in React Native and open-sourced it. It supports URL and file image cropping and is highly customizable, as it works as a React component rather than like regular native solutions. I wrote the cropping algorithm from scratch using geometry math formulas.
