Redesigned the architecture for the Novoville mobile apps and developed the iOS platform version in close collaboration with the backend team and analytics specialist. Also provided support for the Android development. At some point the iOS/Android clients needed to be ported to the web.I undertook the challenge and studied the react-redux ecosystem to develop an SPA while keeping possible react-native porting in mind. In a similar spirit, I led a small team of two to understand and used React Native for building an app for both the Android and iOS platforms. This small project was a challenge as it was a short notice deliverable and the requirements included offline storage, syncing , multiplatform file I/O , data filtering and significant state management on top of the usual REST based web app. Other responsibilities include: -Git go-to guy -Simple server side scripts and devops (e.g nodejs scripts, cron, db data aggregation for analytics ) -General interesting tasks (e.g built an easy localisable generator for client platforms (android/iOS/ web), a scaffolding tool to make react-redux development faster and other things)

Maintained a backend system built using microservices in nodeJS and structured around Firebase for the ConnectiD iOS app. Also built a corresponding dashboard for organisation management in Angular. Worked on a custom beacon management system made in AngularJS and its companion beacon- ready app in Ionic. The app is used by the public to retrieve additional information and media when physically approaching certain exhibits. Dabbled briefly in the Lumen PHP framework and developed a couple of short APIs. Became drawn to iOS and got up to speed with Swift, the framework and everything iOS. Fully developed and shipped an iOS app for sharing browsing and creating short video content curated by a specialist team.
