  • Self-Employed
    Flutter / Dart Architect
    Self-Employed Sep 2020 - May 2021
    My Flutter sabbatical is complete and I am ready to contribute to an organization's Flutter/Dart initiative as a hands-on engineering leader. The deliverable of this sabbatical is a robust Flutter "technology demonstration" app named NewsBug. You can install NewsBug directly from the following links. Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flywheelms.newsbug&hl=en_US&gl=US iOS https://testflight.apple.com/join/meEvLPeAScreen shots are available at https://www.newsbug.us/screen-shotsBased on my experience in both the desktop and mobile space, and with NewsBug, I predict that companies who embrace Flutter/Dart will gain a very substantial competitive advantage in reduced cost (easily 30-40% just for the mobile engineering budget) while also improving speed to market, robust and engaging UX, improved software quality (Sound Null Safety), and synchronized platform parity.  These improvements will be amplified by the integration of disparate platform teams into a single cohesive powerhouse of collaboration and innovation, focused on a single code base and product release pipeline.====== Backstory =======I appreciated the Amazon opportunity, but quickly realized that no amount of generous compensation can stir my professional passion and deep engagement like leading a mobile engineering team that uses modern languages and frameworks to build world-class mobile and desktop applications for end users.During that time I also reached the conclusion that the Flutter/Dart platform had passed a critical tipping point in its development and had emerged as a technically advanced platform and language that is destined to become one of the most important technology platforms for building cross-platform client-facing apps during the next decade.Rather than immediately jumping back into a mobile leadership position, I decided to take this technical sabbatical to validate my initial conclusion and acquire Flutter expertise.
