Oeskn app icon

Oeskn — Skincare Simplified

Current focus

Flutter · iOS & Android · Health & Fitness · English + Spanish

An AI-powered skincare platform that turns a single photo into a structured read of your skin. A facial scan maps the face by zone, produces a 0–100 Skin Score, and generates a personalized morning and night routine that adapts as the skin changes over time.

  • Own the Flutter app end to end — camera-based analysis flow, routine tracking, reminders, streaks and progress charts — now at version 1.9 after 128 production builds.
  • Built on Firebase — Firestore, Cloud Functions, Auth, Storage, Remote Config and Crashlytics — with Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In.
  • Implemented Stripe subscriptions, push notifications and a full English/Spanish localization layer for US and Latin American users.
  • Instrumented for product decisions with Firebase Analytics, CleverTap, Singular and Sentry, plus Firebase Performance for regression tracking.

Eight years of mobile development, from native Android into cross-platform product ownership.

Senior Mobile Application Developer

Antit · Remote

Jan 2020 — Present

  • Introduced Flutter and React Native as the organisation's cross-platform standard, and now lead delivery on both.
  • Own Oeskn end to end — a Flutter skincare platform with AI skin analysis, Stripe subscriptions and a Firebase backend — shipped to iOS and Android in English and Spanish.
  • Cut application crashes by 50% through disciplined testing, Crashlytics and Sentry instrumentation, and targeted refactoring — lifting store ratings as a result.
  • Built modular component libraries and app templates that raised code reuse across projects and shortened delivery on new client engagements.
  • Hardened apps against data exposure and instrumented them with product analytics so feature decisions rest on real usage data.
  • Mentor junior developers, review code, and run estimation and delivery in Scrum with Jira — while working directly with UX/UI designers and clients through launch and post-launch support.

About

A little more context

I am a Senior Mobile Application Developer based in Costa Rica, working remotely. I started in native Android with Java, moved through Swift and Objective-C, and for the last several years have focused on Flutter and React Native — which is where I have delivered most of the products now live on the stores.

What I care about is the part of the job that shows up after launch: crash rates, cold start times, whether the analytics actually answer the product question, and whether the next developer can find their way around the codebase. Reducing crashes by 50% on one product was not one fix — it was testing discipline, instrumentation, and refactoring the parts everyone had been avoiding.

I like owning a product end to end. On Oeskn that means the camera and analysis flow, the subscription layer, the Firebase backend, the localization for two markets, and the release process — and being the person accountable when any of it breaks. I work in health and fintech contexts, so I treat sensitive user data as sensitive by default.

I also enjoy the team side: mentoring junior developers, keeping code review useful rather than performative, and building the shared components that stop everyone from solving the same problem five times.

worth shipping

I am open to senior mobile roles and interesting product work. If you have a Flutter or React Native app that needs to ship — or needs rescuing — I would like to hear about it.
