• Worked across solo projects, startups, and large corporations.• Experienced in the full spectrum of software development• Mobile, desktop, backend, some frontend and embedded.

Brought on by the founding team at the very start, to fill a variety of roles.• Key role in initial architecture design.• Implemented numerous functional POC applications. (iOS/Carplay/Backend)• Developed an iOS voice SDK and dialog authoring tools for developers to use to add voice capabilities.• Technical feasibility studies of technologies to add to platform. (ex: wallet, voice, ml/ai to predict user behaviors)• Researched, wrote test code, and defined specifications for REST endpoints to add functionality to platform.• Occasionally worked with development team on production applications.

• Facilitated communication and strategic planning across multiple development teams and management, handling challenges due to the 8 hour time difference between teams.• Assisted in planning the integration of newly acquired technology stacks.• Helped orchestrate efforts among multiple teams to efficiently consolidate and integrate redundant technology stacks from past acquisitions.• Filled critical gaps in times of limited developer resources, by: ◦ Implementing feature enhancements and bug fixes in internal tools, unblocking internal teams. ◦ Aided internal teams in finding and accessing data from various sources, essential for meeting their contractual obligations.

• Developed components for branded mobile applications.• POC technical investigations to determine if devices could support new application ideas.• Developed video rendering engine SDK used in several windows and tablet applications. Worked with primary application developers to assist in integrating SDK into applications.
