IHLAD

The product

IHLAD’s mobile application supports patient-facing healthcare experiences, including appointments, preparation information, care interactions, and related health services.

My engagement

I joined an existing React Native and Expo codebase for a short engagement of approximately three weeks, backfilling an absent engineer to support ongoing mobile delivery. My first responsibility was to understand the existing application architecture and established product flows well enough to make targeted changes within the team’s conventions.

The work covered appointment-detail experiences, preparation-related information, partner-visit flows, and Week 7 Home content. I contributed within the application’s existing structure rather than introducing a new architecture.

The limited engagement called for a focused scope: become familiar with an unfamiliar healthcare product, implement the requested mobile improvements, and support continuity during the staffing gap. My role was feature delivery within an established team and codebase, not responsibility for the application as a whole.

• Appointment and preparation experiences

  I implemented targeted improvements to appointment details and preparation-related interfaces within the existing React Native and Expo application. The work connected patient-facing appointment information with the preparation content associated with the care journey, following the application’s established flows.

• Mobile product delivery within an existing codebase

  I contributed changes to partner-visit flows and Week 7 Home content after becoming familiar with the application’s architecture and conventions. These were focused delivery contributions that supported the team during a temporary staffing gap, rather than a redesign of the mobile system.

Delivery and reflection

The engagement delivered targeted mobile improvements across appointment, preparation, partner-visit, and Home experiences. It reinforced the importance of understanding existing product flows quickly and making changes that fit the team’s conventions, especially when supporting a product for a short period.
