TheTenPercent Social Platform

TheTenPercent is a comprehensive social media platform designed specifically for people with disabilities, representing the 10% of the population who face unique challenges in finding safe and inclusive online communities. As Co-Founder and Technical Lead, I was responsible for architecting and building the entire application from the ground up.

The project began with a Bubble.io prototype to validate the concept, but quickly evolved into a full-scale native mobile application. I led the technical transition to native iOS and Android development using Swift and Kotlin, building a robust microservices backend with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. The platform features real-time messaging powered by Firebase, comprehensive user profiles, content posting and sharing capabilities, and sophisticated connection management systems.

Managing the full product lifecycle from initial ideation through deployment, I coordinated with designers, stakeholders, and the development team to ensure we delivered a platform that truly served our target audience. The application successfully launched on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, providing a safe space for community building and social connection for people with disabilities worldwide.
