Cameron Ponder

Profile

React Native developer with 7+ years of experience shipping cross-platform products in fintech, logistics and digital health. I care about the details users feel — 60 fps interactions, sub-second cold starts and screens that work for everyone, including VoiceOver and TalkBack users. Comfortable across the whole mobile stack: designing app architecture, writing native modules in Swift and Kotlin when JavaScript isn't enough, and owning release pipelines end to end.
