About

Mike Camara

Senior Mobile Apps Engineer

I design and build mobile products. For 15+ years I have worked in software engineering, and since 2012 I have been shipping production apps across native iOS, Android, React Native and Expo.

I build, modernise and rescue production mobile apps, from platform engineering and release pipelines to observability, app store delivery and practical AI-assisted development. I help teams ship safely, and I also ship my own consumer products end to end.

At Flight Centre Travel Group I lead mobile platform and delivery practices across consumer travel apps including Flight Centre, Travel Associates, Cruiseabout and World360 Rewards. Previously at VBreathe I built React Native, cloud and IoT capabilities for connected air purification products. Independently I have published apps across health, fitness, family, learning and productivity.
