Led the complete rebuild of the Ryte iOS application in Swift 5, achieving a 90% reduction in client-reported bugs and a 40% improvement in performance. Included a full UX redesign and integration of real-time features.
A full rebuild of the Ryte mobile marketplace application for iOS, completed during my time as Senior iOS Developer at Ryte (2019 to 2021). The original application had accumulated significant technical debt; the rebuild started from a clean architecture in Swift 5 using MVVM and UIKit, with a full UX redesign developed collaboratively with the design team in Sketch. Key results: 90% reduction in client-reported bugs, 40% improvement in application performance measured by load times and frame rate. The rebuild introduced XCTest automated testing coverage, Crashlytics crash monitoring for production incident tracking, Mapbox integration for location features, and a REST API layer connecting to the Django backend. The app serves a consumer marketplace and includes real-time listing updates and in-app messaging.
