Pharmacopeia app rebuild
Rebuilt a legacy reference app at Mindgrub with a maintainable MVVM architecture and moved releases from bi-weekly to weekly.
- ~30 maintenance hours saved per month
- Weekly releases instead of bi-weekly
The challenge
A legacy Pharmacopeia app needed to become fast and pleasant to use, and easy for the client’s own developers to maintain afterwards.
What I did
- A faster app. I built and tested a snappy, performant new version that greatly improved the experience over the legacy app.
- Maintainable architecture. I designed an MVVM architecture that cut future maintenance by roughly 30 hours a month, and kept it easy to navigate for the client developers handling updates.
- Release automation. I set up fully automated CI with Fastlane, moving releases from bi-weekly to weekly.
- Collaboration. I worked closely with designers and backend engineers to streamline feature requests.
