Employment
Experience
- BLUECHXP
A Swift-based project for simulated, gamified stock market trading. I developed the v2 of this app from the ground up, using the Firebase Realtime Database and Firebase Cloud Functions as the back end to support very real-time trading simulations using real market data. The application integrated with third-party data providers and involved a subscription business model for advanced features.
