At this role, I have been maintaining and adding new features to legacy applications for managing Electric Vehicle chargers, as well as acted as leading architect for the fully redesigned go-e app (iOS and Android). I introduced code quality tools, CI/CD processes (full automation, from code push to publishing builds in stores), set foundation for Appium-based E2E testing and promoted team practices aimed at maintaining seamless production cycle. At this project, I had limited exposure to native code while updating existing third party library and creating custom code (Java, Objective-C).
