Experience
Social Marketplace App
http://www.vendefy.com/On the front end, I updated the existing UI, added new screens, and created integrations with the back-end server. In addition, I released several builds for testing, using TestFlight, as well as a complete build for production. On the back end, I fixed functional bugs, added integrations with Plaid and Stripe APIs, and implemented new business logic. In addition, I built and released the fixes to the production server. Finally, I reviewed customers' resources hosted on AWS and was able to reduce their AWS monthly bills by approximately $1,000.
