Summary:

I am an experienced mobile developer with a passion for writing scalable, maintainable iOS apps. I've previously built and launched over 10 apps to the App Store with a focus on medical/HealthCare services. 

I am a consistent Stack Overflow contributor and community advocate. My experience with the Apple ecosystem has taught me the value of quality work, from the ground up. I enjoy writing software that is efficient, scalable, and maintainable. I rely heavily of Apple best practices, the Human Interface Guidelines, and programming conventions to output the best product possible.

Employment Experience:

Lead Mobile Product Engineer at LifeOmic - January 2018 to present

Senior Mobile Application Developer at Health Catalyst - January 2016 to December 2017

Lead iOS Engineer at First Opinion - January 2015 to September 2015

Coming on at First Opinion I was immediately confronted with one of my most difficult career challenges yet. Company growth and a pivoting product roadmap had led to an unnecessarily complex codebase and a bug-prone app. Assuming full ownership of the iOS codebase as the sole developer, I oversaw the refactoring, improvement, and release of a series of updates. These changes significantly improved the stability of the app, intuitiveness of in-app transitions and interactions, introduced new features, and laid the groundwork for expanding product offerings from text-only to full support of in-app video chat with a doctor.

I was also responsible for a teardown and and re-addition of robust analytics tracking. From this experience I learned the ins and outs of how to approach analytics tracking with Mixpanel. I learned that it's important to ask "what shouldn't we be tracking" in addition to "what do we want to track" to avoid overloading your analytics dashboards with low-value information.

Lastly, I worked hard to improve engineering processes that would allow to product, design, and engineering to collaborate more effectively and efficiently.

Support Engineer / Team Lead at Agilix Labs, Inc. - July 2010 to October 2011

Agilix specializes in eLearning Web Applications. Working as a technical and sales support engineer, I became a master of the BrainHoney learning platform and Agilix’s open source DLAP API, able to create scripts (Java, PHP, PowerShell, XML), provide code samples, and resolve customer concerns for content migration and system integration.

After 7 months with Agilix I was promoted to Support Team Lead. In this role I was able to gain valuable experience managing and seeking to improve support processes, as well as learn the value of good communication through constant collaboration with product managers, software engineers, and sales representatives. This role in particular taught me to effectively communicate on many levels, ranging from internal affairs to key customer accounts, delighting customers with answers to questions and solutions to problems.
