Experience

Stealz – Lead Developer 2014 - 2017

I was brought on to Stealz to oversee the development and maintenance of their product’s infrastructure. I rebuilt their iOS app from scratch, maintained server side components and developed new functionality. I oversaw bringing in a junior Android developer and mentored them in taking over the Android app component. While at Stealz, I transitioned the existing waterfall production process to Agile and implemented the processes for handling new product features and designs. Two Toasters – Mobile Developer 2011 - 2014

In my three years as a mobile developer at Two Toasters, I developed applications across multiple domains, and on various platforms, including iOS, Android, and HTML5. From the beginning to end of each project, I was in daily contact with the clients and peers to ensure that project goals were met. I had the opportunity to build apps from the ground up as well as jump in on existing projects to help update and polish the final products.

OnWired – Lead Developer 2010-2011

As the Lead Developer at OnWired, I was responsible for leading the development of web applications and ecommerce solutions. In addition to my daily responsibilities, I took the lead in implementing source control standards for the internal developers and contractors, and promoted Ruby on Rails to be adopted as the standard framework for new applications.

Stealz

Stealz is a loyalty rewards program that awards users for sharing pictures through social media and giving feedback to businesses they patronize. I rebuilt the app from scratch, and was involved in all processes from beginning of implementation through the later maintenance lifecycle. Luvocracy

Luvocracy is a Pinterest style sharing application that allows users to shop for products. As the iPhone app for Luvocracy was new, I worked on all aspects of development from functional spec through Q&A. I had the opportunity to implement novel design features that flow well with this app’s aesthetic, such as the custom user profile screens. Luvocracy was one of the first apps to support iOS 7 and was featured twice on the App Store.

Shopkick

Shopkick is a shopping reward app for iPhone, and in 2012, I traveled to California and temporarily joined the Shopkick team to implement new features to their existing app. I helped users get acquainted with the app by developing the walkthrough. I also built the Out and About section of the app, where users find locations, participating store listings, and the screen containing the details about stores and their offers. Zumba Commerce

The Zumba Commerce app for iOS lets users shop and locate classes. The app was built as a universal app that works on both the iPhone and iPad form factors. I worked within the store portion of the app, including screen for both iPad and iPhone, where users can purchase Zumba Fitness merchandise. Other apps / companies worked on /with include Fisker, Lexus, BiteHunter, H.Bloom, Birchbox, Valencell
