NoCode Platform

Build a service to create mobile apps via no-code drag/drop methods

Details:

• Built a complete custom service that lets small businesses create a mobile app and have it published in the store without having to write any code, providing a friendly user interface to create content and configure their app.
• Built a portal and mobile app framework
• Used Meteor for the initial backend and frontend architecture, along with Xamarin for the mobile app framework
• The mobile applications used a combination of Xamarin C# with a Webview running a mobile-friendly local copy of a portion of the portal code
• Developed a push notification system as a tie between the mobile application and the backend using Azure Notification Hub coupled with a custom notification scheduling system
• Built automations for publication of the mobile apps to the Apple Store (iOS) and the Google Play Store (Android)
• Designed a ruby script based on Fastlane running on a Mac Mini to build and publish to the Apple Store
• Developed an interface on a Windows AWS EC2 Instance, to accept build requests and publish to the Google Play Store
• Migrated the feature set from Meteor to improve performance and development processes using a custom UI and backend framework based on Node Express
