👨‍💻 Experience

Native Developer / Front-End Developer (Freelance) - BLOX

Apr 2022 - present

BLOX is one of the Netherlands most used Crypto trading apps, with over 300.000 active users on both iOS and Android. I'm currently responsible for adding new features and refactoring the codebase to improve the overall performance of the app. To make sure that there is no regression while refactoring I've implemented end-to-end testing using the Detox framework, which is now part of the continuous integration workflow.

Next to that I've created a new internal customer support dashboard up based on Vite and Material UI which will be used to optimize the workflow of the support teams.
