Cristi Adam
@cristiadam
Senior React Native Developer at FoodStyles, modernizing its app architecture and shipping a complete redesign alongside ongoing feature work.
What I'm looking for
At FoodStyles, I’m the sole mobile developer, responsible for the app’s architecture, feature delivery, native modules, release automation, and store deployments. I migrated the app to React Native’s New Architecture and shipped a complete redesign while feature work continued.
I built a virtualized interface and custom caching layer for complex data, keeping scrolling smooth without constant server refetches. I also modernized the codebase with TypeScript, incremental React Query adoption, and production telemetry using Sentry and PostHog.
At LeasePlan, I retrofitted a single-tenant storefront into a multi-tenant system serving over 35 global markets. Earlier, at Movium, I developed four vehicle-rental apps and connected mobile software to payments, trip tracking, and BLE hardware; across my work, I’ve moved between solo mobile ownership and collaborating within larger engineering teams.
