React Native developer at Goalsetter who built mobile apps and Classroom’s Node.js/PostgreSQL services.
What I'm looking for
At Goalsetter, I joined as a senior React Native developer on the iOS and Android app, then moved into the Technical Lead role. I owned mobile architecture, code standards, and reviews, and worked with backend APIs and QA on releases.
I also built the web apps and Node.js/PostgreSQL microservices behind Classroom, Goalsetter’s B2B EdTech product. I implemented school LMS and rostering integrations over LTI.
At MediaMonks (now Monks), I built React Native apps for Aeromexico, Club Premier, and Ace Hardware Rewards, owning architecture and performance across iOS and Android. I also built custom video player interfaces and mentored junior developers.
At Ilcacto Digital, I worked hands-on across websites, mobile apps, interactive games, and startup MVPs, and drove the move from Cordova/PhoneGap to React Native. I’m looking for a hands-on developer role on a remote, international team.
