iOS Development Experience
Puck
- This app was developed for a Midwest based startup company. It is a universal remote control app used to consolidate remotes, and to overcome the line-of-sight and range limitations of infrared (IR) technology. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0) and Apple's Core Bluetooth framework to send IR commands to a custom built hardware component.
RSQ Mobile
- This app was developed for a healthcare technology management company. It is used by service technicians to manage notifications, work orders, and medical device information. It uses the RestKit framework to interact with custom built RESTful web services.
Woodblockify Yourself
- This app was developed for a Japanese art exhibition at an art museum. It is used by museum guests, who can create a Japanese woodblock print-inspired selfie. Guests can email their selfie, and choose to share it on the museum's Flickr Photostream. It uses the GPUImage framework for GPU-based image processing. Flickr integration is accomplished using ObjectiveFlickr, an API framework designed for iOS apps.
Music Viewer
- Developed a native Mac app used by performing ensembles as part of an onstage digital music stand system.
- This app eliminated the need for paper copies of sheet music, enabled easy access to their entire music library, and dramatically reduced performance preparation time.
- Each music stand is powered by a rack mounted Mac mini running an app instance that can be configured for any instrument or chair in the orchestra.
- Implemented keyboard handling code that was mapped to foot pedals, which provides musicians with hands-free control during performances.
- Built a custom setlist editor that allows the creation of a setlist using drag and drop from their music library.
- Built custom table views to enable navigation across dynamically generated setlist table columns.
- Used Apple’s PDF Kit to display sheet music and song lyrics.
- Added a half-page turn mode which enables performers to read ahead when nearing the end of the current page.
- Tools included Xcode, Interface Builder, Instruments, Git
Tech-Xpert
- Developed a native iOS app used by service technicians to locate and access specific technical expertise.
- Built custom table views and cells to support specialized appearance and behavior.
- Used Foundation Networking to authenticate users against Active Directory.
- Built a Block-based service API to encapsulate and reuse web services.
- Used the RestKit framework to interact with RESTful web services returning JSON data.
- Used the Message UI framework to enable sending of email and text messages from within the app.
- Used the Apple URL Schemes to launch phone and FaceTime calls from within the app.
- Used the ZBar SDK to enable barcode scanning using the built-in camera.
- Tools included Xcode, Interface Builder, Storyboards, Photoshop, xScope, Reveal, Rested, Charles, OmniGraffle, Balsamiq Mockups, Git.
Pointillize Yourself
- Developed a native iOS app used by art museum guests to create a pointillism style self-portrait.
- Used the AV Foundation framework to provide live camera feed and capture still images.
- Used the Core Graphics framework to write a custom pointillism style image filter.
- Used the Core Image framework to allow users to adjust image tint, temperature, and color saturation.
- Used UIKit gesture recognizers to allow users to add their signature to the self-portrait.
- Used the AFNetworking framework to post images to custom web service.
- Used the MailCore framework to allow users to email their self-portrait.
- Used the Facebook iOS SDK and the Open Graph API to allow users to post their self-portrait to Facebook.
- Used the Google Analytics iOS SDK to add screen and event tracking.
- Tools included Xcode, Interface Builder, Storyboards, Photoshop, xScope, TestFlight, Git.
Filter Monitor
- Developed a native iOS app used by commercial drivers to monitor the condition of various filters on their diesel engines.
- Created a custom data protocol for securely sharing information over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0).
- Used the Core Bluetooth framework to discover and communicate with custom filter sensors.
- Used the Core Bluetooth framework to build a mock implementation of the hardware peripheral for testing.
- Used MagicalRecord and the Core Data framework to manage and persist filter condition and service history.
- Used UIKit Animations to animate the pressure gauge needle for various filters.
- Used the Core Animation framework to animate the gauges that show hours and miles remaining.
- Created custom passcode view, progress view, alert view and action sheet.
- Tools included Xcode, Interface Builder, Storyboards, Photoshop, xScope, Spark Inspector, OmniGraffle, Balsamiq Mockups, Git.
Portfolio
