Team Member Handheld (TMH) is an iPad mini iOS application, catering to the needs of restaurant servers by streamlining the order submission process and facilitating a seamless payment experience for guests. My team at Credera built this application from scratch and tailored it specifically to our client, an American restaurant corporation with more than 1600 restaurants worldwide.

TMH integrates directly with our client's Point of Sale (POS) system, ensuring that order and payment information is synchronized across the establishment, avoiding discrepancies between the front-end and back-end operations. During my time on the project, my team and I were able to achieve an error rate of less than 1% on all devices used in the restaurant, which was a big win for our client. 

One of the standout features of TMH is its capability to handle guest payments. After the guests have finished their meal, servers can generate and process the bill directly through the iPad using a card scanner. This not only expedites the payment process but also allows for various payment options, including credit cards and digital wallets.

At Credera, I lead a 4 person team to build a Swift UI iOS Accelerator app with the goal to provide best-practice, ”plug and play” code that will allow us to initialize client apps more effectively and deliver high-quality iOS apps to clients more efficiently.

Features of the accelerator include a collection of basic sample screens, basic API integration, header, tabs, navigation, Firebase integration (analytics, remote configuration, crashlytics), build flavors and configurations, and app localization support.

SET helps you save money and time by making the most of the items in your current closet. Imagine the closet from Clueless!

In my role as founder and lead engineer, I oversaw the complete product development process. I worked with a business development team to conduct market research, develop a business model for our product, and outline requirements for a MVP. On the software side, I was responsible for overseeing sprints, building features, and conducting user testing in order to shape decisions regarding features in subsequent sprints.

Caravan is an iOS platform to connect people in Denver to carpool to Colorado ski resorts.

I collaborated in a six person team to develop this React Native iOS application from scratch. I led front end UI implementation for the app and also organized the back end to efficiently store user and ride data. I devised features such as calculating distance between users using Google API services, license scanning verification, user profile functionality, and more. In addition to working as a full stack software engineer on the project, I also facilitated in overall project management: devising features, writing stories, and conducting user testing cycles. In the end, our team was able to successfully launch our product on-time for the 2020 ski season.

In a Design, Thinking, and Communication course at Northwestern, a client came to my team with the challenge of creating a product that maximizes bubble production while also being aesthetically pleasing.  

"The Bubble Tray" functions not only as a relaxing bath tray but also allows users to pour bubble bath soap directly in line with the stream of bath water, maximizing bubbles. We conducted market research, surveyed adults on their bubble bath preferences, conducted user observation, and built several mockups before reaching the optimal design for our final product. We made our final product by hand with raw materials and wrote an original final design report.
