Mobile App Performance Mastery Program
Learn to diagnose, analyze, and solve the performance bottlenecks that actually matter in real-world mobile applications. Our intensive 16-week program combines hands-on debugging with advanced optimization strategies.
Apply for Fall 2025What You'll Actually Build
Forget theoretical exercises. You'll work with real mobile apps that have genuine performance problems — the kind that make users delete apps after 10 seconds of frustration.
Each week, you'll tackle a different performance challenge using actual case studies from companies who've struggled with slow load times, memory leaks, and battery drain issues.
- Memory profiling with Android Studio and Xcode Instruments
- Network request optimization and caching strategies
- UI thread management and background processing
- Battery usage analysis and optimization techniques
- Database query optimization for mobile environments
- Image loading and compression for various screen densities
16-Week Learning Path
Each phase builds on real problems you'll encounter when apps slow down, crash, or drain batteries in production environments.
Diagnostic Fundamentals
Master the tools that actually reveal what's slowing down mobile apps. You'll learn to read memory graphs, interpret CPU usage patterns, and identify the difference between symptoms and root causes. Week 3 focuses entirely on one problematic e-commerce app that crashes on older Android devices.
Network & Data Optimization
Dive deep into the networking issues that plague mobile apps in Thailand's varied connectivity environments. You'll work with a real food delivery app that performs well on WiFi but becomes unusable on mobile networks. Learn caching strategies that actually work.
Advanced Performance Patterns
Study the complex performance challenges that emerge as apps scale. Your capstone project involves optimizing a social media app with 50,000+ daily active users that's experiencing 30% user churn due to performance issues.
Production Deployment & Monitoring
Learn to set up monitoring systems that catch performance regressions before users notice them. Final project includes presenting your optimization results to a panel of mobile developers from Bangkok tech companies.
Plenna Vasquez
Senior Mobile Performance Engineer
Plenna has spent the last seven years fixing mobile apps that companies thought were beyond repair. She's the person who figured out why a major ride-sharing app in Southeast Asia was using 40% more battery than necessary — turns out it was a location polling issue that no one had spotted.
Before joining our team, she worked with startups across Thailand and Malaysia, helping them solve the performance problems that were driving users away. She believes in teaching through real scenarios because theoretical knowledge doesn't help when your app store reviews are full of "too slow" complaints.
