My role

Contributed to mobile UI, shared realtime behavior, and server integration, with a focus on call reliability and workspace readiness.

How it works

The React Native app coordinates native call surfaces and a shared realtime room client with server-owned call and workspace state.

What I built

  • Hardened call lifecycle and media-control paths across native and shared realtime code
  • Added loading and recovery states for mobile workspace entry
  • Built a shared native host for wallet and game mini apps with a typed bridge

Decisions that mattered

  • Made call admission, cancellation, and cleanup explicit across native, room, and server owners
  • Gated first workspace entry on data readiness while keeping cached content usable
  • Kept mini-app capabilities scoped, with sensitive wallet operations owned by native code

Tradeoffs and constraints

  • Call behavior needs coordinated changes across app and service releases
  • Automated room and simulator checks do not replace physical-device acceptance

Realtime state · iOS and Android behavior · Background entry · Cross-layer coordination
