WHAT CAN I DO?

APPLICATION DESIGN

Having a real passion in Android, I have built and released several applications. Designing everything from the architecture to the icon even to the animations the users see in-between transition.

USER INTERFACE

This is where my true passion lies, designing pixel perfect eye candy applications that leave the user replaying the animations forgetting about life's problems for those 600 milliseconds of time.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Having build several small scale and large scale applications from the ground up, I am very familiar with several different project management techniques.

AGILE MYTHOLOGIES

Wether it's Stickies on a board, Kanban, Scrum, or Feature-Driven Development I am able to say I have lived through a variation or combination of several variations of Agile Mythologies.

ANDROID TECHNOLOGIES

Constantly utilizing the latest and greatest libraries available for Android. Improving performance, saving code, and making it easier to perform magic using libraries such as RxJava, Retrofit, Gson, Timber, Espresso, and more.

MAINTAINABLE CODE

I have been a victim to updating an old project of mine (and others). Since that day I have tried to only write testable, legible, commented code that has no way of being traced back to me.
