Senior iOS Developer

Responsibilities:

• Worked on three apps: Timex Connected, Timestoppers app, and BLE Agent private app

• Added the iQ+ Travel to the Connected and BLE Agent app
• Uploaded “Timestoppers” app on Testflight
• Added localization for the app for 6 other languages
• Kept Xcode to the latest version and fixed any issues
• Updated “Charts” to 2.3 then 3.0
• Converted the BLE Agent tool into Swift
• Used Jazzy to document the BLE Agent app
• Fixed around 1,000 bugs, thus ensuring the app worked perfectly
