Clever by BICE

Clever by BICE was a 100% digital investment platform that let users build savings through mutual funds without minimum amounts. I worked as UI Frontend Developer during the product’s active development phase, bridging design and engineering and filling a critical gap in the mobile team.

QA Bridge

Design and dev were moving at different speeds and things were slipping through the cracks. I ran weekly QA sessions between both teams, reviewing implementation against design specs and catching discrepancies before they piled up across sprints. Things moved faster once we had a consistent check-in rhythm.

We set up a shared workflow so both teams could export design tokens from Figma directly to Storybook, keeping changes consistent without the back-and-forth.

iOS App Foundation

At a critical point in the project, the mobile team had no iOS developer. I stepped in to build the foundational app structure, despite it being my first professional iOS experience. I wasn’t meant to own it long-term, just get things moving until the right person joined.

Using SwiftUI made it easier to go from design to code. The team could design "in code" and the screens we built stayed in the project until the end.

Learnings

Build to unblock, but build it right. The SwiftUI foundation I built to unblock the team was never rewritten. It shipped as-is. The iOS developer who joined later didn’t know SwiftUI, so I ended up teaching him the same screens I’d built. What starts as a stopgap can become the real thing. Build it like it might stay.
