Migration of the backend powering a medical education mobile application from WordPress to a modern stack.
Context
Lab9 client engagement for a US-based medical association and its educational mobile application.
Work
A backend migration from WordPress to Node.js and Firebase for a React Native trivia and learning app used by roughly 5K active users.
Outcome
The mobile app moved onto a modern API while keeping compatibility with the existing React Native client, and the content team received a custom Next.js admin dashboard to replace WordPress workflows.
Details

02 Shipped a custom Next.js admin dashboard to replace WordPress-based content workflows.
03 Worked in a two-developer team, sharing backend, frontend, and integration responsibilities throughout the migration.
