Your.MD

Healthily operates within the digital health sector, providing personalized health information and guidance through mobile applications and online platforms. They feature an AI-based Smart Symptom Checker that empowers users to self-diagnose health issues.

He joined Healthily in 2018 and played a pivotal role in a three-person team responsible for overseeing an agency-created Android app. Their efforts included introducing dependency injection, implementing unit testing, and refactoring the codebase from Java to Kotlin. Additionally, we incorporated numerous new features.

After about a year, it was determined that an iOS version of the app was necessary. Transitioning from the Android team, he worked independently to port the Android app to iOS, successfully launching it in early 2020. Subsequently, with the introduction of the iOS app, they expanded the team by hiring additional members, and he assumed a leadership role, guiding a team of three.
