Experience
ChallengeSens
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstand.challengesensI was the sole developer of this project and made it in my free time.
Comodule White-label Application
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.comodule.superThe application has Bluetooth and theming as its core products. It provides information about the user's IoT module and allows quick theming according to the client's needs to fit their brand.
Glia Widgets SDK
http://www.mooncascade.com/our-work/gliaGlia specializes in helpdesk software, and they wanted an out-of-the-box product their customers could easily integrate into their existing Android apps. The solution was a white-label product that could be added to the client's app as a library, only needing to be styled through some parameters to get a beautiful working helpdesk area in their app.
I took responsibility for building the app according to the client's requirements and figuring out all the technical elements involved.
Elisa Store Demo Applications
I've created these Android applications alongside a design and a back-end team.
Timbeter
http://timbeter.com/I was the Android developer in a team of machine learning and back-end developers.
Itella SmartApp
The application was built for performance and handling significant amounts of data using the device's camera or a Bluetooth barcode scanner to scan barcodes. It used Bluetooth to also connect to an Ingenico payment terminal so that couriers could accept bank payments at a client's doorstep.
The app used the Android Room library to help maintain the app's local database, although many SQL queries were still built from scratch. It was also heavily focused on offline caching, so a huge system was created for that. The whole application was constantly getting unit tests and Espresso screen tests.
I was the Android developer in a team of back-end developers, designers, and project managers. It is probably the most amazing app I have built yet in terms of complexity. It can't be shown externally, as it is an in-house project.
