WorldGuessr Mobile App Development

While working on WorldGuessr, a popular geography-based web game with 3 million+ monthly users, I led the development of its mobile mode to ensure smooth, intuitive gameplay on phones and tablets. The original experience was heavily desktop-oriented, so I focused on creating a responsive interface that felt natural on smaller screens. This included touch-friendly controls, dynamic scaling of UI elements, and rethinking layout logic for menus, maps, and Street View embeds.

On the backend, I locked down everything while using the existing APIs of WorldGuessr to easily bring over the functionality from the original game. I made an admin system, implemented user hierarchy, and optimized things like loading times by utilizing multiple concurrent calls.
