Freetrade
Staff Engineer ● Oct 2019 – Apr 2022
Freetrade is a investment platform aiming to make investing open to all.
In my two and a half years there, I was a significant part of the team as one of the few with mobile expertise. I oversaw launches of many features across numerous teams (including Discovery & Insights, Onboarding, and Pensions). Towards the end of my time there I was responsible for hiring, onboarding, and aligning a team of mobile engineers who would be embdedded into teams other than my own.
I focused on making the apps better for our users, with features including dark mode, a brand-new iPad UI and performance improvements.
I was also responsible for making the developer experience better for non-mobile developers, including encouraging non-mobile developers to write about mobile topics, and increasing our visibility in the sector.
