"Guiding a university student through the end-to-end development of his final exam project."

Through intense 1-on-1 remote pair programming sessions, I helped Leonardo architect a comprehensive React Native Expo application handling smart ingredient management, expiration dates, and OpenFoodFacts barcode scanning APIs.

React Native (Expo) Architecture

I taught best practices for clean UI component trees, deep views nesting, and strict TypeScript definitions ensuring scalable mobile frontend codebases.

Advanced State Management

We tackled unidirectional data flow, passing complex callbacks, state-lifting, and persistent offline payload caching to survive app closures.

API & Hardware Integrations

Demonstrated how to securely interface with third-party REST engines (OpenFoodFacts) and natively bridge hardware like the device's camera for barcode scanning.
