The challenge
Pet fans want more than raw video—they crave playful narration without babysitting a feed. IzzoCam curates the best moments, then layers cost-aware AI commentary so every tune-in feels alive.
Where I focused
Steer product vision, AI provider rotation, and SwiftUI app delivery while coordinating design, backend cost controls, and daily release rituals.
How we approached it
Authentication System
Implemented secure Apple Sign In and Google authentication with Firebase backend integration and beautiful gradient-themed onboarding flow.
Real-time Commentary Engine
Orchestrated LiveKit streaming with AI provider rotation, commentary personas, and cost-aware prompt design to keep storytelling fresh.
Modern Design System
Created custom orange gradient design system with smooth animations, micro-interactions, and dark/light mode support following latest iOS guidelines.
What shipped
- Separated tune-in events into live chips, reducing commentary feed noise.
- Maintained 95%+ commentary success rates with daily deploy guardrails.
- Automated provider rotation, stream health scripts, and Firestore hygiene.
- Delivered SwiftUI experience that keeps fans close to Izzo, even on beta builds.
What I learned
Pairing daily iteration with AI storytelling keeps IzzoCam delightful. Tight guardrails, automation, and SwiftUI craft prove whimsy and reliability can ship together.
