GLAMSQUAD
On-Demand Beauty
GLAMSQUAD was an incredible opportunity to build big features for an established startup. Previously offering only on-demand services, I'm most proud of building out the eCommerce experience on iOS, helping transform the company from a single-service business to a multi-channel beauty brand.
At GLAMSQUAD, I:
• Lead development of an app which generates millions of dollars of yearly revenue and has tens of thousands of monthly active users
• Reduced the app crash rate from above 5% to below 1%
• Managed junior developers, providing code review and mentorship
• Converted legacy code from Objective-C to Swift using modern best practices
• Automated certificate management and deployment to the App Store
Technologies used:
• GraphQL
• The Coordinator Pattern
• Apple APIs
FilmPad
Film Photography Journal
FilmPad is a passion project born out of the drive to become a better film photographer. With FilmPad, users can quickly log film rolls, cameras, lenses, and exposures.
​
I conceptualized, designed, built, and shipped the app in early 2018. It was built using only native Cocoa Touch APIs and employed Apple's Human Interface Guidelines to guide the design philosophy.
​
I've also open sourced components of the app, including the location manager and a custom alert presentation controller. Improvements are always welcome!

AskJack
Book Local Contractors
AskJack connects consumers to home repair professionals. I worked full-time at AskJack and helped built out many core features, including authentication, scheduling and payments.
​
As with many startups, I also wore a lot of hats. I helped design the app using Sketch and Photoshop, facilitated communication between engineering and management, and implemented agile methodologies which improved engineering productivity.

Technologies used:
• MapKit
• Alamofire
• Braintree
• Fabric
• Docker
Cardly
Send Custom Video Cards
Cardly allows users to take video, add custom frames and text, and share them with friends. It was the first app I helped build, as part of a team of colleagues through Flatiron School's iOS Development program.
​
The concept in building Cardly was, rather than making a simple CRUD app, to dive deep into one of Cocoa Touch's frameworks. With that in mind, we chose AVFoundation and CoreAnimation. I worked primarily on the video rendering and custom animation layers, which was challenging but in the end incredibly fulfilling.
