Added the soft function on the stock screener filter page and iOS pre-set filters on ETF explore page.

The application included actual abilities to buy and sell securities and see account positions, so security, including at the Application and Network layers, was a key consideration.

The application originally used 3rd party services as information sources, and this was moved to internally developed and managed services and I adapted the integration. This was a complex and intricate piece of work that generated significant cost savings, additional capability, and the ability for future service improvements for the business.

The integration to the endpoints was RESTful using HTTP and JSON objects which we serialized and deserialized for communications.

I lead and performed extensive work on Table / Table Views, including drilling into details and finally into abilities to actually buy and sell securities and view.

Source management was in Git and delivery used modern CI/CD & DevOps techniques as applied to iOS applications.

I interacted closely both with

o“Horizontal partners” delivering the matching Android application

o“Vertical partners” providing the server-side / backend services

othe User Experience (UX) team that provided the visual requirements.

oand the business partners who provided the key application requirements.
