During this course of 6 months, I learned a lot as every day I was working/ implementing something which I had no experience of, faced a lot of issues initially but eventually it started working out and improved my skills day by day.It was an amazing experience being in constant contact with the team and working on updates, meeting with the clients, last-minute changes, a lot of errors, bug fixes in production, programming late at night, and what not!I was the lead developer in… Show more During this course of 6 months, I learned a lot as every day I was working/ implementing something which I had no experience of, faced a lot of issues initially but eventually it started working out and improved my skills day by day.It was an amazing experience being in constant contact with the team and working on updates, meeting with the clients, last-minute changes, a lot of errors, bug fixes in production, programming late at night, and what not!I was the lead developer in a lot of projects and also worked on a lot of projects (built using Flutter). Some of the projects also supported Flutter Web.Some of the projects are still not live and hence not mentioned. The rest are mentioned.What I learnt: * Tracking user's current location. * Pagination for a list to reduce initial loading time. * Phone Authentication (OTP Verification) for mobile number login. * Push Notifications using firebase. * Dynamic Links - basically if a user opens a Dynamic Link, they can be taken directly to the linked content in the application. (or to the store if app is not installed, and then to the content once installed) * Real-time Chatting * Working with Google Maps - Working with maps to show markers on the source or destination/ or to update current location, show polylines, update driver's location in real-time etc.The mentioned links are for the Play Store, but iOS versions are also available for most of the applications.
