Executive Summary

UpSkin is a community-focused mobile platform that enhances user engagement through user-generated content, interactive media workflows, secure profiles, and dynamic social feeds.

The Challenge

Optimizing media loading speeds for high-resolution images uploaded by users was critical. Slow loading times in standard feeds were causing early user drop-offs.

The Problem

Niche hobbyists and special interest communities lacked dedicated mobile environments that prioritized media quality, direct communication, and clutter-free social features.

Our Solution

We developed a React Native mobile application for iOS that prioritizes high-fidelity photo sharing, instant commenting, push notifications, and customizable community channels.

Our Approach

We integrated an AWS CloudFront CDN distribution with an automated Lambda function that compresses, resizes, and caches images at edge nodes immediately upon upload. The React Native client uses progressive image loading for smooth scroll feeds.
