Experience
Cryptocurrency Marketplace
Towards the end of 2019, I took the opportunity to begin developing iOS and Android apps to allow users to use and access the product easier.
The iOS and Android apps were completed in early 2020 and quickly became the main way that users interacted with the product.
From this point, I took the lead on the front end of the project and worked to improve and modernize the code by using React hooks and bringing in new systems such as Material UI.
