Technical Lead at Maytech Technologies powering three retail brands from one React Native platform across six app targets.
What I'm looking for
At Maytech Technologies, I lead the React Native platform for Country Road, Mimco and Witchery, delivering three retail storefronts across six iOS and Android app targets. I migrated product, catalogue and authentication data from REST to GraphQL, and built shared features including product listings, checkout and loyalty.
At Swivel Group, I owned the architecture and release strategy for SMATA and built its white-label mobile platform, scaling it from one app to a live portfolio of 15+ branded apps. Across fintech, healthcare and proptech products, I’ve delivered mobile apps with React Native and native iOS and Android, and I’m bringing AI-assisted and agentic workflows into production mobile development.
