Jamie Ferguson.
Senior engineer for React Native and the web. I build apps that people want to open.
Almost 20 years of turning ideas into things you can tap, from banking portals to pizza ovens. Kiwi-trained, Edinburgh-based, and still mildly obsessed with shaving seconds off a build.
A few things I've cooked up
-
Ooni Pizza Ovens
Made from scratch
Rebuilt their app in React Native, across 10 locales. App store ratings went from a half-baked 2.5 to a piping-hot 5 stars.
-
Pets at Home
Good boy, good basket
Apple Pay, Google Pay and a pack of features for the UK's biggest pet retailer, helping customers fetch a bit more each visit.
-
FanDuel
A safe bet
Real-time sportsbook features for millions of US users, where a slow screen is never a winning hand.
-
