Talk 4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reuben Abraham - Building Complex Apps with React Native NerdWallet started its mobile journey about two years ago with a 100% React Native app and a relatively constrained feature set. As our product needs have expanded over time, we made the conscious decision to stay all-in with React Native while simultaneously investing in key pieces of native-side architecture. This approach has allowed us to develop complex, high-quality mobile experiences against a fast-paced product roadmap – taking full advantage of the power of React Native without compromising expectations of what a cutting-edge mobile app should be. About Reuben Reuben is a software engineer on the mobile team at NerdWallet. He's passionate about building software with high-quality user experiences, so that people love using it everyday because it genuinely improves some part of their lives.
