MyNM iOS App
Since joining Northwestern Medicine's iOS team in June 2021, I have led and implemented numerous enhancements across the MyNM app, including the full 2.0 upgrade. These updates have streamlined user experiences and optimized app performance.
- MyNM 2.0 Upgrade: Spearheaded the major 2.0 upgrade in a fast-paced 4.5-month timeline, implementing reusable components such as tappable rows and bottom drawer menus to improve efficiency and reduce app storage needs.
- Favorites Feature: Designed and developed dedicated screens for favorite doctors, locations, and clinical trials, allowing users to save and quickly access essential information when logged in.
- Error Status Overhaul: Improved error handling for login processes by deepening integration with MyChart’s SDK, ensuring users receive clear guidance when logging in with incorrect credentials.
- Insurance Sort & Filter: Created an insurance sort and filter feature that integrates with the Doctor Profile page, providing users with a dynamic way to search by insurance provider. This feature involved close collaboration with the backend API team to ensure smooth functionality and accuracy.
- HealthBeat Integration: Led the seamless integration of Northwestern’s HealthBeat website into the app, ensuring efficient navigation and performance optimization for a smooth in-app user experience.
- Accessibility Enhancements: Implemented a comprehensive accessibility upgrade, enabling visually impaired users to navigate the app more easily. This included localization for English and Spanish, setting a strong foundation for future language support.
- Color Palette Standardization: Utilized Microsoft CoPilot to implement a cohesive 5-color palette across the app, making future design updates and rebranding simpler and more consistent.
- SwiftUI and Swift Concurrency: Researched and introduced Swift Concurrency and SwiftUI for improved performance and modern development practices in the MyNM 2.0 upgrade.
- Bug Fixes and UI Enhancements: Continuously identified and resolved bugs while updating the UI to align with the design team’s vision and stakeholder requirements.

Swan Stoplights iOS App
Developed in Swift while working at SWAN Analytical USA, this app guides the sales team through a step-by-step "stoplight" system to help clients identify suitable water treatment products. I first redesigned and simplified the existing system, then implemented it as an accessible mobile app for field use.
Dabarino
This Swift app detects a "dab" gesture and plays a user-selected sound effect, such as an airhorn. Created in the height of the "dabbing" trend, Dabarino was a playful project that earned Top Honor in the 2016 Mobile Makers Winter App Competition for its innovative use of motion detection.
