The One Abbott Mobile team is building up its mobile engineering team with a developer who can be a champion for cross platform mobile development. The initial focus will be with React Native but plan to develop skills for other cross platform solutions like Xamarin and Flutter. This individual would help Abbott create cross platform mobile engineering best practices and cross-train native mobile and web developers as necessary to staff future mobile engineering projects.
