Followd
The social network that pays creators and followers, launched from scratch fast and scrolling smoothly.
The project
Social networks are unforgiving: if the feed stutters, users leave. Followd had to go from zero to the app stores fast, with creators keeping 90% of what they earn and fans earning through tasks, referrals and games. As founding lead engineer, I shipped the app, the web and the backend in a short time, with heavy performance work to keep everything smooth.
