Apps, backend and store releases.
My role grew from Windows development to delivery across all four platforms and the backend.
01 / The starting point
A Windows brief that grew across platforms.
TradeBlocker was built around a clear purpose: let traders choose their trading hours and block access to trading apps and websites outside those times.
My work began with Windows. Over the course of the project in 2024, I took on the other three platforms, the backend and the store releases.
02 / What I built
From desktop development to the wider product.
01Desktop apps
Start with Windows, expand to macOS
My work started with the Windows app. I then built the macOS version, taking responsibility for the product across both desktop platforms.
02Mobile apps
Bring the product to iOS and Android
I also built the iOS and Android versions. Across the four platforms, the apps allowed users to set trading hours and block trading apps and websites outside those times.
03Backend development
Build the backend behind the apps
Alongside the desktop and mobile apps, I developed the backend supporting the product.
04Release delivery
Handle the app-store releases
I handled the app-store releases as part of the delivery work.
- Desktop development
- Mobile development
- Backend engineering
- App-store releases
03 / The delivery
Four platforms, with the backend and releases covered.
The work spanned Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, alongside backend development and app-store releases. Across the apps, users had controls for setting trading hours and restricting trading apps and websites outside that schedule.
The initial response was positive, with people excited about the product.
