🔐 Authentication is not just a login screen.

In mobile apps, auth often becomes one of the messiest parts of the product because it touches almost everything: • onboarding • email verification • password reset • social login • session refresh • token expiration • biometrics • permissions • deep links • account deletion

The mistake is treating authentication like a one-time setup task.

For React Native apps, I prefer to think about the full session lifecycle from the start: what happens when the token expires, the app returns from background, the user changes devices, or a request fails halfway through.

A clean auth flow makes the whole product feel more reliable.

Good authentication is invisible when it works — and graceful when it doesn’t. 🔑

Built an Expo Widget

A simple Live Activity that keeps your food delivery status on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, so you can track your order at a glance.

Built with Expo + expo-widgets.

You can see the code on my GitHub — I’ve also got all the mobile app interactions I’ve been building there.
