• 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.

• 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.
