A new product on a compressed timeline.
MagicPhotos began as an AI-product opportunity without an existing frontend foundation. The challenge was to turn discovery into a production release in under three months without letting delivery speed create unnecessary long-term complexity.
Architecture, components, and release planning.
I defined the frontend architecture, component structure, and release plan, then partnered with product, design, backend, and machine-learning teams through technical planning and rollout. The work balanced fast delivery with reusable systems that could support the next set of product features.
The choices behind the product.
Use reusable components to protect speed without creating throwaway code.
Plan delivery with product, design, backend, and ML from the start.
From concept to production in under three months.
MagicPhotos reached production inside the target window. The reusable component systems and internal workflows created during the build also reduced duplicated effort and improved delivery velocity across the wider product team.
