AI‑Powered Mobile Dating App
It is an AI-powered mobile dating application designed to create meaningful connections through intelligent matchmaking and real-time engagement. The app combines a TypeScript-based React Native codebase with native Swift modules for platform-specific features to deliver a smooth, responsive user experience.
Problem
Existing dating apps lacked deep personalization, suffered from performance bottlenecks on mobile, and often failed to surface relevant matches consistently — leading to low-quality matches, poor retention, and slow user interactions.
Solution & Approach
I built a scalable mobile product using React Native (TypeScript) with native Swift components for performance-critical features, backed by cloud infrastructure. The solution uses AI-based matchmaking to analyze user behavior and preferences, real-time messaging for instant engagement, and secure payments for subscriptions and in-app purchases. The approach emphasized modular architecture, efficient state management, and async patterns to keep the app responsive at scale.

Key Features
AI-Powered Matchmaking
Machine learning models analyze profile data, in-app behavior, and interaction history to deliver accurate, relevant matches tailored to each user.
Real-Time Chat
nstant messaging with low-latency updates and push notifications so users can communicate immediately and keep conversations alive.
Secure Payments
Stripe integration for subscription management and in-app purchases, with secure handling of payment flows and receipts.
Scalable Architecture
Cloud-native design on AWS (auto-scaling services, managed databases, and CDN) to maintain performance and reliability under load.
Native Performance Enhancements
Swift-based native modules for performance-sensitive functionality on iOS (media handling, location services, animations) while keeping the majority of the UI in TypeScript/React Native.
Privacy & Safety
User verification, reporting tools, and privacy-first defaults to keep the community safe and foster trust.
Results & Impact
- Improved user engagement through more relevant matches and a smoother chat experience.
- Highly scalable backend and infrastructure that supports increased traffic with minimal latency.
- Faster response times and reduced UI jank by combining React Native with targeted native Swift modules.
- Secure, reliable payment processing via Stripe, enabling steady subscription revenue and simplified billing.
