Software supervisor for Platform team and Voice Services team

Continuing to lead the SDK Platform team in projects to bring Android to BlackBerry devices and to have BlackBerry-owned applications available on Google Play. The team is responsible for a number of key components such as Application Infrastructure, Application and Service Best Practices, Android Platform APIs, to name a few.

The team also contributes on the tooling side to give insight into how our code is working, enabling our internal developers to excel. Some of the BB10 projects the team owns are(1) Data management: displaying long lists of data on BB10 without any UI lag is easy on BB10. The library that does all the background work of caching and windowing is maintained so developers never need to think about it.(2) String Pattern library: when you receive a message, all of the phone numbers, emails, twitter handles, etc., are linked and accessible with a single tap. This is on by default, without developers needing to give it a thought.(3) Invoke framework: opening emails from Hub is actually launching another application through invoke framework. This is secure, and decouples Hub from third-party message providers like Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Invoke is the central component bringing applications together, built from scratch for BB10.(4) Frecency service: a combination of frequency and recency, goes with Invoke framework. This AI module analyzes user behavior during invocation, offering the likely choice first. User can quickly find a contact or application for file sharing or other actions.The team is also deeply involved in a project to bring Android to BlackBerry devices. Our project work includes Menu Services, Common UI Controls, PIM Messaging API, Analytics/Frecency, Tools, Packaging, and Application and Services Best Practices. Show less
