The product
Leya is an AI-powered English learning app: conversational practice with an AI tutor, plus feedback on pronunciation, grammar and word choice.
What I did
- Architecture. Together with the Founding iOS Engineer, I designed the app’s architectural framework. It supports the product experience that contributed to over 1k weekly downloads on the App Store.
- Automated testing. I built automated testing on Xcode Cloud, improving deployment speed by 50% and expanding testing capacity, so features reached users faster.
- Working with design. I advised the design team on best practices and feature feasibility, keeping scope aligned with timelines and budget across 5 major releases, all delivered on time.
- Code review. I ran thorough peer reviews to keep coding practices consistent and catch issues before they became tech debt.
