ASU Mobile App

ASU's mobile app is the campus-front-door for one of the largest research universities in the country. 58,000+ weekly active users hit it for class schedules, campus events, geo-located activities, instant chat with student services, and roughly two dozen other surfaces students don't realize aren't separate apps.

I led development across multiple feature areas in the React Native codebase, with AWS handling the backend service composition. The work spanned native module integration (geo-location, push, local notifications) through to the conversational features that fed into Sunny — the chatbot covered separately.

Mobile at university scale is its own engineering discipline. Devices range from current iPhones to four-year-old Androids on flaky campus Wi-Fi. The codebase has to absorb academic-calendar-driven traffic spikes (move-in week, finals, registration windows) without falling over. Most of the work is unglamorous — caching, offline-first patterns, graceful degradation — and that's where the user impact actually lives.
