Experience

December 2021 - Present

Software Developer

SmartTask (UK)

Initially contracted for the company for approximately twelve months.

Did an in-depth review of their Xamarin Forms application before beginning with the process of upgrading the solution to the latest Xamarin platform and ensuring the ability to target the latest operating system versions for Android and iOS.

Successfully upgraded the solution and now resolving issues and performing additional enhancements to the application and solution.

Noteworthy Achievements:

Successfully upgraded the company's mobile solution that allowed the company to target the latest platform version for Android and iOS, given they could no longer release any further versions to the stores as result of a redundant solution.

Successfully migrated the company's mobile solution from Xamarin Forms to .Net MAUI, that included a new UI design by myself.

May 2021 - December 2021

Software Developer

Thinkology (UK)

Took over the implementation of a mobile application that was to be used in the beauty industry by IIAA. The end goal of the application was to capture client details after which, the clients would have headshot photos of themselves processed to eventually provide recommendations about what beauty products to use.

Development efforts included implementation of NFC, refactoring code to follow the MVVM pattern and fix the complex problems that were already in place. The refactoring of the code also saw notable improvements in the user interface, that were constantly delayed or causing the application to hang and crash on a regular basis.
