These iPhone images show the Mobile Express Checkout flow I worked on when PayPal still had a “mobile” team in 2011-2012. Soon after, mobile became a requirement for every product team
PayPal is where I really learned how critical user experience is to the success of a product and how web technologies could be harnessed into extremely useful tools relied on by millions. This is also where I decided to leave my role as a UI Engineer and shift my career to be a UX practitioner.
