Product Owner, Android & iOS Developer, Tech Lead
My decision to join NaizFit was driven by a desire for challenges and a longstanding interest in understanding the dynamics of entrepreneurship from the inside. I believed that joining a well-established startup was the perfect way to achieve this. In this regard, the most valuable lesson I learned at NaizFit was how to build a company culture where everyone feels like part of a family.
Despite my brief tenure at NaizFit, it was there that I found an exceptionally rewarding work environment, and it has been one of the briefest yet most enriching experiences of my professional career.
Initially hired to develop the iOS application, I quickly needed to take the lead on a legacy Android project. To meet this challenge, I learned Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Android from scratch. NaizFit was notable for its excellent CI infrastructure, assembled with limited resources, and a team that excelled in working harmoniously and being fully committed to the project's goals.
Unfortunately, due to budget cuts by investors and a subsequent workforce reduction, I had to leave the company. During my time there, I not only advanced the initial development of a project on iOS using the iOS 17 stack but also became extensively familiar with Android and Kotlin, and took on responsibilities for parts of the backend developed in Scala and learning about the CI infrastructure. Although originally hired as an iOS app developer, my role quickly evolved into Product Owner and Tech Lead, taking full responsibility for an entire project.
