ABOUT ME
Mobile App Developer
Mobile App Developer

I love learning new things and taking on new challenges. For me, software development is an expression of those goals.

My main experience is in native mobile app development with Swift for the iOS platform and java/kotlin for Android. I am familiar with many apple frameworks including, UIKit, Spritekit, CoreData, AVKit and AVFoundation as well as third-party frameworks like, AWS, Firebase, Admob and Facebook. I also frequently work with Android. I'm currently working on a smart home app that features integrations with AWS and bluetooth libraries.

I care deeply about UI/UX and providing the best possible quality to users. I would be happy to help with any questions or projects.

I started developing games using Swift and Spritekit. This involved proof of concept all the way up to implementing ad networks and managing marketing efforts with facebook advertising, Admob and other ad networks. From there, I moved into the educational field. I've worked on over 60 apps for a variety of colleges and universities including Ivy League schools like Harvard and Stanford. I've used my experience from building game animations to deliver the best possible UI/UX for these apps.

Swift is my language of choice. It's a beautiful programming language to both read and write. It features type-safety and optionals to safely handle empty value conditions. I love using swift with all my iOS projects.

I got my start with Android while working for Innosoft Canada. They offer recreational department management software to universities and colleges. Part of the service they offer is an Android app that students can download to stay up to date with campus events. It was my Job to develop features and support this app that was used by tens of thousands of students. All development was done natively using Java. I would be happy to help you out with any Android development.

Fishio is a throwback to some classic games found on a younger world wide web! The players goal is to slowly grow their goldfish to reach the top of the food-chain. Points are awarded for every enemy goldfish eaten. As the player progresses through the levels the enemies will become larger, faster and harder to avoid. As players collect coins by leveling up, they are able to unlock new goldfish with improved abilities. This will allow for even higher scores and greater variety in gameplay. Challenge your friends to achieve the highest score!
