  • I played a key role in developing a React Native-based mobile application for Saudi Airlines , focused on enabling passengers to apply for refunds in case of flight cancellations or delays . I was responsible for building the complete user registration and login flow , implementing secure authentication, input validation, and smooth navigation across screens.
  • I developed integration logic to invoke airline APIs from the mobile app, enabling users to fetch real-time flight schedules , delay/cancellation status , and passenger information . This allowed the app to automatically determine refund eligibility based on the provided data.
  • The app also featured dynamic forms that allowed users to submit refund requests , with built-in data validation , error handling , and status feedback . I ensured seamless interaction with backend services and worked closely with QA teams to test across multiple devices and platforms.
  • This mobile solution greatly improved refund processing speed, reduced manual workload, and enhanced the user experience for Saudi Airlines customers.
