Candy Crush Royalty | React Loyalty and Payments

At King, I helped build the Candy Crush Royalty platform, a web experience where players could discover rewards and purchase boosters outside the game.
My role was frontend engineering and interim frontend team leadership. I worked with product and design to turn loyalty and commerce requirements into React interfaces. The frontend used Recoil and Material UI, with Contentstack supporting content and Adyen powering payments.
The challenge was connecting a branded rewards experience to a checkout flow that had to meet PCI requirements. I helped implement and test the experience across the loyalty and purchase flows and supported delivery through the existing Azure and Jenkins setup.
The work shipped as part of the Candy Crush Royalty platform. It shows how I approach React product work that spans design, content, payments, and production delivery.
