🌟 Building Product Apps for Startups
In the dynamic world of startup development, speed, security, and scalability are everything. At Pottr, we've had the privilege to collaborate with several innovative startups, helping them bring bold ideas to life through robust web and mobile applications. In this post, I’ll share my hands-on experience building two impactful products — one in the cybersecurity space and another in digital health.
🔐 Fighting Phishing with AI and Real-Time Intelligence
At PhishAR, I worked as a backend developer focused on building the core infrastructure for a mobile app aimed at preventing phishing attacks. The app empowers users to take a photo of their screen, extract visible URLs, and instantly analyze the threat level of the domains detected.
Core Contributions:
- Integrated multiple third-party threat intelligence services to gather information about scanned URLs.
- Built a streamlined data aggregation and parsing engine that unified complex data into a cohesive, readable security report.
- Implemented asynchronous operations to prevent server blocking while fetching data from external APIs.
- Focused heavily on performance and reliability, ensuring fast and meaningful insights for users.
Technical Challenges:
- Dealing with inconsistent data formats from different security providers.
- Ensuring server responsiveness while managing long-lasting third-party API calls.
- Designing a backend that could evolve as the product scaled.
🏥 Empowering Patient-Nurse Connections
At DigiHey, I was part of the team building Oxbow Health, a mobile-first platform that connects patients and nurses across the United States. This app was tailored to streamline healthcare communication and scheduling, making it easier for users to access and provide care.
Core Contributions:
- Developed backend logic and created the data schema and entity relationships.
- Managed authentication flows and ensured secure user access using Supabase.
- Contributed to product planning and helped prioritize feature releases based on user needs and scalability.
- Worked collaboratively with the frontend team to ensure smooth feature deployment.
