Mercari
Mercari is a marketplace app used by over 5 million monthly active shoppers that aims to promote the circular economy by helping declutter your home. When I joined in 2021, we were only 3 iOS engineers responsible for maintaining and building new products. Later on, we rewrote the app in React Native to allow for more engineers within the company to contribute. I was responsible for implementing top priority projects and was tech lead for a 3 months long project involving 3 mobile engineers with very high business impact.
