Dodo Pizza | Pizza Delivery App

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dodo-pizza-pizza-delivery/id894649641
A Swift-based app with 150 thousand daily active users (DAU). I developed the functionality for ordering pizza inside restaurants. I came up with the idea of searching for pizzas and implemented it. I've also handled project quality, switching the project from the CocoaPods dependency manager to Tuist, separating the monolith application to many feature modules, and adding the ability to implement mini-apps.

Sberhealth App

A Swift-based app with telemedicine service and appointments with doctors and diagnostics. I've implemented functionality for online calls and messenger with doctors. Every feature was coved with unit tests.
