Staffing marketplace: mobile app from zero to #1

The problem

A Norwegian staffing marketplace needed a cross-platform mobile app, and needed it in months, not quarters. There was no existing mobile codebase, no mobile team, and a hard launch window.

What I did

I joined as lead mobile engineer in a cross-functional team of three and owned the mobile stack end to end: architecture, implementation, release pipeline and store submissions. The app is built on React Native and Expo with a sync engine underneath, so the product works instantly and stays consistent across devices. End-to-end flows are covered with Maestro, and releases go out through a proper CI pipeline rather than laptop builds.

The outcome

The app went from first commit to production on both iOS and Android in four months, and reached #1 in the Business category on the Norwegian App Store during the launch period. I continue to lead mobile work on the product and contribute to the shared web codebase in a supporting role.
