01 · Context

Insta-Delivery is a multi-sided commerce platform operating in Nigeria. The customer app is where the whole business meets the user: every order, every vendor, every rider hand-off. I joined to help ship the first App Store release and owned major surfaces through launch.

02 · What I owned
  • 01Built and shipped core customer surfaces end-to-end: vendor discovery, product detail, cart, and checkout.
  • 02Owned the real-time order tracking flow, integrating maps and WebSockets for live rider updates.
  • 03Implemented wallet and payment screens against the platform's own payment rails.
  • 04Wired push notifications for order lifecycle events with reliable cold-start handling.
  • 05Designed the empty, loading, and error states so every screen has a considered fallback.
03 · Interesting bits
· 01

Real-time driver tracking on a map with sub-second WebSocket updates and battery-friendly polling fallback.

· 02

Optimistic UI on cart operations so the app feels instant even on flaky networks common in the region.

· 03

60fps product lists via memoized cells, FlashList, and disciplined re-render boundaries.

· 04

One shared design system across the customer and vendor apps to keep visual language consistent.

04 · Stack

05 · Outcomes
  • Live on the App Store as part of a working commercial product.
  • Zero-downtime rollouts using EAS Update for JS-only fixes.
  • Crash-free sessions consistently above the 99% target since launch.

Have an idea worth
building well?

I take on a small number of engagements each year. If you’re shipping something you care about, let’s talk.
