Companies work with me when Bluetooth-app integration is a critical part of the user experience and product. Typically, I provide a starter-app with Bluetooth connectivity, or a Bluetooth SDK - so the mobile team can focus on the other non-Bluetooth features. There are also times when I will review/oversee the team as they handle Bluetooth themselves - to keep them from getting stuck and making costly mistakes. I've built mobile Bluetooth apps and SDKs for - handsfree commercial building access (proprietary and PKOC)- monitoring human respiratory function- continuously tracking body chemistry- securely accessing bank/ATM lobbies- interacting with toys/collectibles - administering dental hygiene equipment - managing food allergen testing devices - controlling vehicle performance equipment - monitoring fleet vehicles in realtime
