React Native Developer — Designed and developed the MINGO Social Discovery & Business Networking application from Figma to a fully functional React Native app. Integrated APIs, AI chatbot, and Firebase-based notifications while ensuring a seamless dual-experience for social users and business owners.

This project involved building a cross-platform mobile application that serves two distinct audiences within one codebase — social users looking to connect and businesses aiming to promote services. Starting from a Figma design, I developed the entire frontend in React Native, integrating Laravel APIs provided by the backend team via Postman.

The MINGO Social side allows users to create profiles, browse matches, send real-time messages, interact with an AI-powered MINGO Chatbot (powered by ChatGPT), post content, and receive instant push notifications through Firebase.

The MINGO Business side enables companies to set up business profiles, post offers and events, manage listings, and track audience engagement with built-in analytics. Both user types have tailored UI flows, yet share a unified design language for brand consistency.

Tech Stack Used:

Frontend: React Native CLI
Backend: Laravel APIs
AI Chatbot: ChatGPT API
Real-time Messaging & Notifications: Firebase
Design Source: Figma
Other Tools: Redux Toolkit, Axios, React Navigation

Results Achieved:

Delivered a dual-purpose app that seamlessly supports both social networking and business promotion.
Implemented a fully integrated AI chatbot to enhance user engagement.
Enabled real-time messaging, offers, and event postings with instant push alerts.
Successfully launched with stable API integrations and optimized performance across iOS and Android.

This was a collaborative project with the backend team providing APIs, while I handled the complete frontend development, API integration, and deployment.
