The Story
I joined LeanSwift as the only mobile developer. They were an Infor M3 ERP services company that wanted to move into mobile, and they handed me a blank page: build the platform, build the team, build the products, build the distribution.
I built a prototype to convince senior management, got the budget, and grew it from there. For a few years I was product owner, scrum master, tech lead, and architect at the same time.
Core Engineering Work
- 01Designed the whole architecture — UI layer, backend integration with M3 microservices, local storage, offline sync, push notifications, and the functional flows on top.
- 02Worked with M3 consultants to understand ERP modules, and with backend engineers to create the microservices that fed the apps.
- 03Grew the team from one to more than ten — iOS engineers, a designer, QA — and mentored as we went.
- 04Set up CI/CD, App Store licensing and distribution, and the release cadence that shipped modules version after version.
Analytics & Retention
I flew to the USA repeatedly to sit with clients, understand their operations, and bring requirements home as concrete product plans. Two of those trips lined up with WWDC 2017 and 2018, where I met Apple engineers on M3 integration and the Objective-C to Swift migration.
