Steven Gurr

Senior iOS Developer for the NOW TV iOS app.

Developing the iOS app for Travel Republic and dnata Travel. The app allows you to browse hotels and flights, through to completing your booking. Been heavily involved in a significant amount of refactoring of legacy codebase from Objective-C to Swift, in addition to working closely with designers to improve the look and feel of the app, as well as the code. Also completed extensive rewrite of the 'Manage Your Booking' section allowing users to do things post-booking like adding extras to their booking, and viewing all the details they might need at the airport or for hotel checking.

Senior software engineer for a white label cross platform mobile application for checking train times, planning journeys, and buying tickets for any train anywhere in the UK. Tickets purchased can either be delivered to the phone as a barcode, or picked up at the station. This product was the official app for many train operating companies, including Virgin Trains, Great Western Railway, and Arriva Trains Wales. Working on this app for such a long time meant continually keeping it up to date with changes from Apple including support new screen sizes, the introduction of storyboards, and of course the UI changes for iOS7.
